The original report was submitted in fulfillment of the contractual agreement for Unidata Equipment Award recipients to submit an article detailing their use of funds received. Editor
The Department of Meteorology at the University of Utah has actively participated in the Unidata program in a number of ways since its inception. In 1997, an equipment grant from the National Science Foundation’s Unidata Grant Program, provided workstations for our student computer laboratory. However, despite periodic updates, the core infrastructure had become complicated, cumbersome, and obsolete. more>

This project was designed to provide an enhanced netCDF data model and library by using HDF5 for a storage layer. Version 4.0 is compatible with existing netCDF programs and data, additional data modeling abstractions, and features for use in high performance computing, such as parallel I/O. Support for an enhanced data model is made possible by including the capability to use HDF5 as the data storage layer for the netCDF API. New features made available include user defined types, multiple unlimited dimensions, and per-variable data compression.
For a comprehensive list of features, please see the release notes.

At the recent meetings of the Unidata Users Committee and Policy Committee, discussions were held on how the Unidata Program Center (UPC) should proceed with support for N-AWIPS/GEMPAK and evaluation of AWIPS II (see background information).
The UPC is keenly aware that changes envisioned will have a significant impact on our community and that many of you have concerns. Be assured that we are fully committed to supporting university GEMPAK users for as long as feasible, even as we work with our users in providing a smooth and orderly migration to other long term solutions.
The UPC is most interested in your thoughts on this matter and invites community input. Please send your comments, concerns, or suggestions to nawipsmigration@unidata.ucar.edu. To facilitate discussion on this topic, the UPC has also set up an online forum.
