Welcome!

Welcome to the AWIPS Technical Library!

Here you'll find a One-Stop site for all publicly available AWIPS II-related materials.  This includes:

  • AWIPS II software (binaries and source code)
  • AWIPS II Development Environment (ADE)
  • AWIPS II documentation & reports

For first-time users, we recommend you start by clicking on the "Wiki" link in the menubar above this portlet.

We hope you find this information useful.  This site will be updated from time to time as new information and documents become available.  If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the AWIPS Technical Library Forum (click on "Forums" near the top of this page).

AWIPS software support

As a reminder, although the National Weather Service provides the AWIPS source code, binaries, scripts, and documentation for each major release, we are unable to provide support for the installation or usage of AWIPS.  Please see the official statement below.

The AWIPS baseline software (source code, binaries, scripts) and documentation are provided under the umbrella of previous FOIA requests.  The content is updated with each major AWIPS release, and is provided for the general public to download and use as they see fit.  The AWIPS software and documentation is provided "as is", and the National Weather Service (NWS) does not offer any support for its installation, configuration, or usage.  The AWIPS Technical Library (https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/awips-technical-library) contains forums which may be used to communicate with other AWIPS users outside of the NWS.
