Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Unidata Program Center is working with three software development interns via a “virtual internship” program this summer. Even though we're not in the office, we're happy to have these three students with us for the summer of 2020. Click through to read their introductions.
Lauren Prox joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 18, 2020. Lauren graduated from George Mason University's Atmospheric Science Program in the spring of 2020 with a focus in Computational Atmospheric Science. She plans to enter a graduate program in Geospatial Intelligence in the fall, but this summer she'll be focusing on contributing to the netCDF project, where she is excited to enhance the tools researchers use to share their data and collaborate with other scientists.
Caitlyn McAllister joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 18, 2020. She is a rising senior at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, majoring in Meteorology and with minor concentration in Computer Science.
Russell Manser joined the Unidata Program Center as a software development summer intern on May 18, 2020. Russell recently defended his Master's thesis in Atmospheric Science at Texas Tech University and will be graduating toward the end of the summer. He'll be pursuing a PhD in Atmospheric Science at Texas Tech this fall.
Netcdf-Java version 5.3.2 is now available, and includes several bug fixes, 3rd party dependency updates, and more steps towards the creation of a public API, as well as new capability for reading CDM datasets stored in any AWS S3 API compatible object store.
