Agriculture and Forest Meteorology and Climatology Field Laboratory

该奖项授予田纳西大学是为了响应提交给NSF仪器和实验室改进计划的提案，该计划的目标是扩大对本科教学仪器的支持。该合同将提供购买配备气象传感器的便携式自动气象站所需资金的一半。该机构致力于匹配国家科学基金会对该设备的贡献。该仪器将用于加强农业和森林气象学的本科课程，并将为学生提供获取，存档，检索和总结气候数据的机会。

This award to the University of Tennessee is made in response to a proposal submitted to the NSF's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program, a program whose goal is to extend support for undergraduate instructional instrumentation. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire portable automated weather stations equipped with meteorological sensors. The institution is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The instrumentation will be used to enhance the undergraduate programs in agricultural and forest meteorology and will provide students with the opportunity to obtain, archive, retrieve and summarize climatic data.
