SOO, What's New?

Hey, hey! The EMS just keeps on delivering, this time with more ~~good~~ stuff!

Now, even better than ever! The ~~WRF~~ EMS Version 3.4.1.13.23 has been unleashed to the masses, just in time for NWP modeling season! Was version 3.4.1.13.19 keeping you down? No worries, because the new release is everything you expect from free software developed with no budget and without support. Consequently, this release will probably keep you down as well, but don't let that stop you from enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Want ~~less~~ more verbiage and ~~more~~ less action? Read on.

It's Here! It's Here! The new ~~phonebook~~ EMS is finally here!

It's here! It's here! The new EMS is finally here!

After many, many months, the ~~WRF~~ EMS Version 3.4.1.13.19 is now available. You read that correctly, EMS V3.4.1.13.19 is no longer vaporware. It now awaits your commands and attention, kind of like a puppy, only much cuter.

BUFRgruven Version 12.9.2 is hatched!!

Bgruven version 12.9.2 has been released to to fix a number of "unplanned design features" including any problems that arrise from overly ambitious, yet still loved, users running multiple Bgruven processes at once. A sense of calm has once again returned to Bgruvenville.

Now Available NAWIPS 6.7 - It's Baaaaaaack!

After capitulating to the ever-growing demand (from 0 to 1 request), I've decided to resurrect the long-neglected STRC support of NAWIPS. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I've compiled the most recent NAWIPS release (V6.7) and placed it on the STRC site:

http://soostrc.comet.ucar.edu/strc/nawips

It you read anything this year, be sure that it is the nawips_install.README file.

This release may be used to replace the version included as part of the EMS or as a stand-alone installation. You have the power - use it wisely.

21 August 2012
BUFRgruven Version 12.8.1 is unleashed!!

Bgruven version 12.8.1 has been released to support the August 21st SREF implimentation. There is an all new suit of ensemble members with greater diversity in the model initial conditions and physics configurations. The total number of members has been increased to 21 plus an additional emsemble mean data set. Additionally, a new NMM-B member family has been invited to the party.

EMS Adaptive Time Step Fix - Update Available!

31 Jan 2012
The SOO STRC data server is undergoing re-vitalization

The data archive on the primary STRC server, soostrc.comet.ucar.edu, is being reorganized to better serve the SOO community. When completed, the on-line archive of operational model data in GRIB 2 and BUFR formats will increase with more direct access to the files for local modeling and research.

While the mass data migration is underway, there may be periods when your favorite archived data set is unavailable. But fret not data miner, as your missing nugget shall be returned to the site in the near future.

This process should not impact the real-time data flow. At least that is the plan.

27 Jan 2012
BUFRgruven V12 is now available

The Bgruven package has been updated for 2012 with added support for the NAM 4km nest BUFR files! Through a party on February 5th to celebrate!

23 Sep 2011
The all new, sensational, eruditional, inspirational & gyrational "~~Modsnd~~*" "BUFRgruven" is finally available!!

The BUFRgruven package has been completely rewritten to make it more efficient and to provide functionality that was either missing or not working in earlier versions.
