Hi everybody - sorry for the clutter,

Just in case you've been staring at a terminal for the last few hours and haven't noticed, we are under TROPICAL STORM WARNING! 

Soon-to-be tropical storm Nicole may make tomorrow's commute unpleasant, and so I am postponing tomorrows LUNCH BYTES student computing seminar, new date TBA.

Sorry for the inconvenience & stay tuned for re-announcement. 

Thanks,

Marcus

Hi everybody,

In tomorrow's (Wednesday) LUNCH BYTES student computing seminar: VAPOR

Do you want to make really cool looking 3D plots and animations of your data? Impress your advisor/coworkers/significant other? Its fun and easy with NCAR/UCAR's VAPOR software! 

VAPOR = Visualization and Analysis Platform for Ocean, atmosphere and solar Researchers. 

Its free, fast (as long as you have a graphics card) and easy to learn (considerably easier than plotting 3D in Matlab and a LOT faster). VAPOR works with many common data formats and analysis tools: binary, NetCDF, WRF output, NCL, IDL and more. 

Here is a link to some sample plots: http://www.vapor.ucar.edu/gallery/index.php?id=general

And a quick video animation (not mine): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nluyQThAcmM

Time & place: Wednesday, Sept. 29, 12:00pm. - SA 114 (SLAB building)
