+# NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations
+
+Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. **As a result, activity from Unidata Program Center staff on this repository will cease until after the temporary pause.** See [NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/nsf-unidata-pause-in-most) for details.
