We are pleased
to announce the release of
the new version of CDAT-v4.1.
This
release brings new OPeNDAP
interface to the IPCCESG
climate model simulations data holdings. It also comes with
the new CDAT Demo GUI which will also serve as the
CDAT Tutorial. The next release version will bring Ncvtk 3D
graphics.
We
are constantly striving to make the CDAT software easier to
use,
learn, find documentation and to be more user friendly. Thus far we are
continually soliciting the input from users. We present
the results of
the survey on CDAT documentation that wasposted on the CDAT-discussion
list.(see
CDAT
Support page to subscribe to the list.)
Thanks to
everyone who responded to the
survey!
We
do want to make CDAT the best possible software and we need user input,
so that we can put our effort into the part that user
finds most useful. Everyone can and is very welcomed
to
contribute in making the CDAT documentation better.
