In case you missed it — here's a recap of news from the Unidata Program Center for the month of November, 2022.
Highlights from last month:
NetCDF operators (NCO) version 5.1.1
Version 5.1.1 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.
AWIPS Tips: Localization in EDEX
AWIPS uses a hierarchical system known as Localization to allow site and user-specific customizations of many aspects of EDEX and CAVE, such as available menu items, color maps, and derived parameters.
AWIPS Tips: Creating a User Override
This Tip shows an example of how you can create a user-configuration override. As an example of something you might want to customize in your own configuratino, we are going to change the displayed units for Wind Speed Arrows from knots to mph.
2023 GNSS Remote Sensing Colloquium
The UCAR COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate) Program's 2023 GNSS Remote Sensing Colloquium will be held in-person June 5-16, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado.
Unidata Staff at AGU Fall 2022 Meeting
The American Geophysical Union will be conducting a hybrid in-person and virtual conference for its 2022 Fall meeting, December 12-16 2022, with live events taking place in Chicago, IL. Several Unidata staff members will be presenting as part of the AGU Scientific Program; read on for a schedule of their talks and posters.
NetCDF operators (NCO) version 5.1.2
Version 5.1.2 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.
AWIPS Tips: Plotting Multiple Datasets from EDEX
This Tip provides another example of python-awips in use, focusing on using multiple datasets from EDEX to plot regional surface observation data.
NetCDF operators (NCO) version 5.1.3
Version 5.1.3 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.
And a reminder:
2023 Unidata Users Workshop: Save the Date
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and guests for a community workshop to take place 5-8 June 2023 as a hybrid (in-person and/or virtual) event hosted in Boulder, Colorado.
On the Developer's Blog
Unidata Program Center developers write regularly on technical topics on the Unidata Developer's Blog. In November the MetPy Mondays series looks at taming GRIB files with XARRAY, using Conda environment files, and saving space with Conda Clean.
