WES 8.1 Now Available

WES 8.1 is the latest version of NOAA's NWS Weather Event Simulator developed and distributed by WDTB / CIMMS on July 23, 2007. Although WES 8.1 is a standalone install DVD (requires no previous versions of WES), NOAA users should install WES 8.1 on the same machine on which the “WES machine replacement disk image” was previously installed. This will minimize problems with operating system conflicts. WES 8.1 is available via ftp for non-NOAA collaborators. To get your own copy of WES 8.1, please follow these request instructions.

WES 8.1 Training

A short overview of WES 8.1 entitled "WES8.1 Overview Training" is currently posted in the Learning Management System (LMS) for NOAA users. To view, simply log into the LMS and search for WES8.1. Access to this training module will be provided to Non-NOAA users in the WES 8.1 download instructions.
