Molenar, Gosden

D. Molenar attended a special NOAA training session at Unidata in Boulder, CO on July 26 and 27.  The training was designed to address the special needs of NOAA sites using the Unidata Local Data Management (LDM) system, currently being used at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) to ingest NOAAPORT products which are then displayed on the CIRA Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) workstation.   The LDM will be distributed as part of the AWIPS 5.0 release, making this a viable platform for transferring experimental products to the Weather Service.

All RAMM Team HP workstations have been upgraded with the latest network security and Y2K compliance patches.

The VISIT HP workstation has been reconfigured to support a larger system drive, logical volumes,  and more efficient disk space utilization.  Version 4.2 of the AWIPS D2D software has been installed.

A HP-J280 Workstation was added to RAMMT's Infrastructure for the VISIT project.  The system is being used to enhance the RAMM team research and VISIT training session by utilizing the AWIPS software.
