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 the NSF 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 by EDEX, 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), and python-awips (a programatic API written as a python package).
Note
: Our version of CAVE is a non-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.

AWIPS Data in the Cloud
NSF Unidata and XSEDE Jetstream have partnered to offer an EDEX data server in the cloud, open to the community. Select the server in the Connectivity Preferences dialog, or enter edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu (without http:// before, or :9581/services after).
