Python-Focused Software Training Workshop at University of Oklahoma

23 March 2017

The University of Oklahoma will be hosting a Unidata Regional Software Training Workshop April 27-28, 2017. Unidata software developers will be leading the Python-focused workshop, which will cover the use of the MetPy and Siphon packages in the context of atmospheric science.
