This award to the Michigan Meteorological Resources Program (MMRP) at Michigan State University will enhance instruction and research in the areas of meteorology and climatology. Funds are provided for the acquisition of an interactive meteorological computer system (UNIDATA/PC- McIDAS). This computer system will provide hardware and software for the near-real-time display of satellite images and conventional and diagnostic parameters. Contributions of PC-McIDAS to instruction include providing students with experience in interpreting satellite imagery and permitting classroom and laboratory demonstrations of the relationships between upper-air features, surface patterns, and cloud systems. Satellite images also will be archived for research purposes. In particular, this archive will be used for further research concerning the climate of Michigan.

该奖项授予密歇根州立大学的密歇根气象资源计划（MMRP），将加强气象学和气候学领域的教学和研究。为购置交互式气象计算机系统（UNIDATA/PC- McIDAS）提供了经费。该计算机系统将为卫星图像和常规诊断参数的近实时显示提供硬件和软件。PC-McIDAS对教学的贡献包括为学生提供解读卫星图像的经验，并允许课堂和实验室演示高空特征、地表模式和云系统之间的关系。卫星图像也将存档，以供研究之用。特别是，该档案将用于有关密歇根州气候的进一步研究。
