The THREDDS Data Server version 4.2.6 is available. This version is recommended for all users, including production servers. The latest update can be downloaded at https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/THREDDS/tech/TDS.html.

Version 4.2.6 includes the following changes:

• Add CRS definitions to EPSG CRS WKT database (epsg.properties) for 3857, 3408, and 3409
• Fix tds/build.xml to directly reference catalina-ant.jar for Catalina deploy tasks
• Fix TDS NCSS service so HTML form does not hardcode "/thredds" as the context path

Unidata Software Training Workshops to be held in July 2011

Here are the dates for the Unidata software training workshops this year.

Registration extended: Last day to register is June 17!

More information is available on the Training Workshops page.

WSI Corporation and Unidata are pleased to announce the availability of global lightning data to members of the Unidata community.

WSI Corp.'s Global Lightning Network (GLN) provides high quality real-time and archive lightning stroke data to clients throughout the world. Lightning sensors are located at more than 150 international hosting partner sites, in addition to the detectors that make up the North American Precision Lightning Network (all NAPLN data is included in the GLN data feed). In the key deployment areas, including North and South America, Europe, and Asia/Australia, GLN detection efficiency values are as high as 90-95%, with corresponding location accuracies less than 1 km. Real-time data are collected in a 1-minute bin, and contain cloud-to-ground lightning stroke data and some cloud flash discharges.

The NWA invites all undergraduates to write an original paper on the study and use of satellite remote sensing data in weather analysis and forecasting. Themes of the paper may include original research, case studies, development of a technique/algorithm, or a survey of applications. One author will receive the NWA Meteorological Satellite Applications Award, a grant of $500, and be invited to present a poster at the NWA 36th Annual Meeting in Birmingham, AL on October 15-20, 2011.

Deadline for receipt of papers is June 15, 2011
