If you're not attending Unidata's AMS Short Course on Data Management,
you might be interested in the Short Course on GIS for Atmospheric Sciences
being taught by instructors from the National Center for Atmospheric
Research and the University of North Carolina. Both Short Courses
take place on Sunday, 10 January 2016,
preceding the 96th AMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Data management mandates from federal funding agencies,
professional societies, and publishers are becoming more
common at all scales of research effort. To help researchers
navigate the new requirements and implement effective,
low-overhead data management workflows, Unidata is hosting
an AMS Short Course on Data Management Planning and
Implementation: Training on available open-source tools and
services from the community and Unidata. The short course
will be held the afternoon of Sunday, 10 January 2016,
preceding the 96th AMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans,
Louisiana.
The short course will provide information
on the current mandates, present a researcher-focused
approach to data management, and introduce freely available
services and tools that can be combined to manage and share
research data. The course is intended for practicing
researchers who are interested in both meeting the current
requirements and implementing “best practice” data
management processes in their research effort. The course
builds on and extends information available in Unidata's
Data Management Resource Center.
