Strategic Focus Areas
This effort supports the following Unidata funding proposal focus areas:
- Broadening participation and expanding community services
by providing the tools and support to assist the University community in the upcoming transition from GEMPAK to AWIPS-II - Developing and deploying useful tools
by providing a useable, robust, modern package free-of-charge, tailored to the needs of the atmospheric science education and research community - Enhancing user support services
by testing hardware/OS requirements and documentating a clear installation procedure to assist GEMPAK community's looming transition to AWIPS-II
Activities
- AWIPS-II migration/developers workshop at NCEP, August 17-19 - included one-on-one time with NCEP AWIPS-II developers to discuss requirements, useability and requirements
- AWIPS-II DR11 acquired from NCEP has been installed and tested at Unidata
- Use of LDM to file to AWIPS-II - currently displaying near real-time surface, upper-air and lightning data
Ongoing/Planned Activities
- Intall/config documentation updated for each newly acquired drop (link)
- Add capability to display satellite, individual site radar and grids (Some satellite images okay at this point, but full support requires tedious editing of sql tables.)
