Hello casestudy participants,

The announcement below indicates a wonderful opportunity to share and
learn applications using historical data at the 2002 AMS in Orlando,
Florida. We encourage participation in this symposium and offer to help in
any way possible. Now that the COMET case studies are available in
netCDF as well as the data's native formats, this is an excellent forum to
engage with others ideas and techniques for analyzing historical data.

I look forward to seeing you all there,

-Jeff

ATTENTION ALL POSSIBLE ORAL/POSTER PRESENTERS AT THE AWIPS
SYMPOSIUM AT THE 2002 AMS ANNUAL MEETING IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA

Case Study and Local Application Presentations

Arrangements are being made to allow AWIPS Symposium speakers to present
interesting case studies and/or applications programs as part of the AWIPS
symposium to be held 14-17 Jan 2002 in conjunction with the 2002 AMS
Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. AWIPS workstations will be available
to load and demonstrate historical data for case studies as well as
locally developed applications using current data.  Participants will be

sessions, or independent of any paper presentation.  Those wishing to
present case studies or to demonstrate local applications should, (1)
prepare a brief abstract describing the case study or local application,
(2)describe computer resources necessary including a description of and
size of the data sets for case study presentations, any special
configurations or localizations requirements, and any requirements for
specific versions of COTS or support software.

Both AWIPS Unix workstations and Linux workstations will be available for
these presentations.  It will be necessary to stage and integrate custom
applications and special data cases in advance to make sure the
localization and other environmental variables are properly set up.

The AWIPS Program plans to work with presenters during September, October,
and November 2001 to do this staging.  Presenters should plan on having
their data and applications available for this staging by September 1,
2001.  December 2001 will be reserved for boxing and shipping the
equipment to the conference center.  For case study data, presenters
should also plan on placing data on CDs for processing and display during
the demonstrations.  These data must be compatible with Release 5.x
because the netCDF for observational data changed after Release 4.3.3.
Applications developed by users for use with real time data must work with

received and the AWIPS Program has had an opportunity to review proposed
demonstrations.
