Exciting changes planned for upcoming JASMIN events
CEDA is currently planning a range of new events, including workshops and webinars, to complement the regular JASMIN conference.

UK weather station records now freely available to all MIDAS Open
Measurements of historical weather variables across the UK are now freely available to all, through the Met Office “ MIDAS Open ” dataset held at CEDA.

Helping you work effectively with new JASMIN storage
JASMIN continues to grow as a unique collaborative analysis environment for an expanding community of scientists. We have attempted to address some big challenges, such as the ever-growing demand for storage space and the increasing diversity of scientific workflows, with the Phase 4 upgrade. However, we’re aware that some aspects of the changes introduced in Phase 4 have presented some challenges in themselves. Therefore, we have put together some new documentation about the challenges and summarised what can be done to help deal with them.
