GIS User Group

Everyone is welcome! Whether you have been using GIS for years, just learning, or wanting to learn; the GIS User Group (UGUG) will have something for you. These meetings provide a forum for networking, education, and fun.

The UCAR GIS User Group will meet the second Wednesday of each month.

Our next meeting will be on July 9th at 12:00 - 1:00 in FL1- 2133

Progress on International Standards Related to Atmospheric Data Access
Ben Domenico UNIDATA

Several international standards groups are working on conventions, protocols and interfaces that have a bearing on our ability to make atmospheric data available to other communities.  This is especially true for the groups who have traditionally used GIS tools, e.g, hydrology, biogeosciences, societal impacts and hazard response.  These include ISO, the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) as well as the members of our own community involved in OPeNDAP, the Climate and Forecast Conventions, and the evolution of the netCDF. This talk provides an overview of the efforts underway and a recap of recent progress.
