NSF Unidata AWIPS

https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/awips/

The Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS) is a meteorological software package. It is used for decoding, displaying, and analyzing data, and was originally developed for the National Weather Service (NWS) by Raytheon. There is a program at UCAR called the NSF Unidata Program Center (UCP) which develops and supports a modified non-operational version of AWIPS for use in research and education by academic institutions. This is released as open source software, free to download and use.

AWIPS takes a unified approach to data ingest, where most data ingested into the system comes through the LDM client pulling data feeds from theNSF Unidata IDD. Various raw data and product files (netCDF, grib, BUFR, ASCII text, gini, AREA) are decoded and stored as HDF5 files and Postgres database entries byEDEX, which serves products and data over http.

Unidata supports two data visualization frameworks:CAVE (an Eclipse-built Java application which runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows), andpython-awips (a programatic API written as a python package).

Note: Our version of CAVE is anon-operational version. It does not support some features of NWS AWIPS. Warnings and alerts cannot be issued from our builds of CAVE. Additional functionality may not be available as well.
