The month of January was extremely busy for the National Weather Services' NCEP Central Operations, according to Chief of Systems Integration Michelle Mainelli. Activities included finalizing the first version of the AWIPS II software, preparing AWIPS II workstations for demonstration at the American Meteorological Society meeting in Seattle, and finalizing the configuration of the AWIPS II test bed located at the World Weather Building in Camp Springs, MD.
"On January 12th, we submitted our AWIPS II baseline NCEP Perspective to the NWS Office of Science and Technology," says Mainelli. "We expect to see the NAWIPS migrated functionality in the AWIPS II release from Raytheon Technical Services by the end of March 2011. NCEP will continue to provide software updates to Unidata until that time."
