向NSF UNIDATA提交设备提案 一种购买微型计算机系统的程序， 运行的PC-McIDAS软件开发的大学 威斯康星州。 PC-McIDAS硬件/软件系统将提供 实时可见光、红外线和水汽卫星图像 以彩色动画形式显示在IBM彩色图形屏幕上。 该系统在教学、科研和科研中的应用 气象部门在提案中作了说明。 这 系统将与我们目前的MASSCOMP迷你集成， 计算机，目前处理来自FAA-604数据的数据 线，让我们的学生充分诊断和分析 中尺度的天气系统 此外，本发明还提供了一种方法， 该系统将扩大我们的研究潜力领域， 气象学，强风暴预报，热带气象学， 卫星气象学和辐射过程。 最后， 开发的实验室菜单和其他气象 软件演示了圣路易斯 联合国大学可以为UNIDATA的全部工作做出贡献。 总的来说，这项提案的目标是更新圣路易斯 大学的天气接收设备，并创建一个 教育用交互式图形计算环境 未来的气象学家 拟议的制度将有助于我们 保持一个强大的，必要的相关气象计划， 1990年代气象学家的培训。

An equipment proposal is submitted to the NSF UNIDATA program for the purchase of a microcomputer system capable of running the PC-McIDAS software developed by the University of Wisconsin. The PC-McIDAS hardware/software system will provide real-time visible, infrared and water vapor satellite imagery in an animated form in color on an IBM color graphics screen. Applications of this system to teaching, research and the meteorological community are described in the proposal. This system will be integrated with our current MASSCOMP mini- computer, which presently handles data from the FAA-604 data line, to permit our students to fully diagnose and analyze weather systems down to mesoscales of motion. In addition, this system will broaden our areas of research potential in mesometeorology, severe storm prediction, tropical meteorology, satellite meteorology and radiative processes. Finally, examples of developed lab-menus and other meteorological software are given to demonstrate ways in which St. Louis University may contribute to the total UNIDATA effort. Overall, the goal of this proposal is to update St. Louis University's weather receiving equipment and create an interactive graphics computing environment for the education of future meteorologists. The proposed system will help us maintain a strong, relevant meteorology program necessary for the training of meteorologists in the 1990's.
