NOAA is searching for a Director for the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), located in the National Weather Service (NWS), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) in College Park, MD.

The EMC improves numerical weather, marine and climate predictions at NCEP through a broad program of research in data assimilation and modeling. In support of the NWS operational forecasting mission, the EMC develops, improves and monitors data assimilation systems and models of the atmosphere, ocean and coupled system, using advanced methods developed internally as well as cooperatively with scientists from universities, NOAA laboratories, other government agencies, the private sector and the international scientific community.

Good News:
The National Science Foundation has confirmed that funding is available for the workshop. We encourage you to begin making travel arrangements to attend. Our thanks to NSF for continuing to support this important community workshop.

The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness of the current trends in the academic geoscience community with an emphasis on Data Proximate Analysis, Machine Learning and Data Analytics, Using GOES-16 Data, and Working with Ensemble NWP Output. Scientists and educators from the academic geoscience community will present ideas and techniques for making effective use of geoscience data and share activities, course materials, and ideas for improving education and research. There will be hands-on workshops, a poster session, and time for informal discussions with presenters and Unidata developers.

CONUS imagery in GEMPAK 7.4.2

GEMPAK 7.4.2 is available as source code and binary packages for CentOS 6, CentOS 7, Fedora Core, and Ubuntu/Debian Linux.

Version 4.7.4 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.
