During the 2011 Equipment Awards, consideration was given to proposals outlining plans to install either/both THREDDS Data Server and RAMADDA to share data relevant to furthering Unidata's mission with the community at-large. This included but was not limited to data from real-time IDD/LDM feeds, local observations, data from local modeling efforts, case study collections, and climate data.
Also encouraged were proposals focusing on the installation of a prototype AWIPS II EDEX server, when AWIPS II is made available in the Fall 2011 time frame, to share data relevant to furthering Unidata's mission with the community at-large. Unidata's technical staff stands ready to assist with installation and configuration of this server.
A total of $100,000, including UCAR overhead, was available for awards in 2011. Proposals for amounts up to $20,000 were considered.
