Upgrading McIDAS Workstations Under UNIDATA

该项目将升级怀俄明大学大气科学系IBM PS/2计算机的操作系统和硬件，使PC-McIDAS能够集成到该系的网络环境中。这将允许使用PC-McIDAS更全面的显示软件和循环能力来查看裁研所SDM软件摄取的更广泛多样性的数据。它还将允许将McIDAS数据归档到我们阿波罗网络上的更大磁盘和磁带上。PC-McIDAS被广泛用于教育和研究活动。它加强了该系开设的天气气象学课程的教学，让学生能够互动地分析气象数据。它还被用来协助参加在该部门内设立的特别培训方案的沙特阿拉伯气象学家的培训。PC-McIDAS经常被带到现场，为国防部的研究飞机提供预测支持。

This project will upgrade the operating systems and hardware of the IBM PS/2 computers of the Department of Atmospheric Science at the University of Wyoming to allow PC-McIDAS to be integrated into the department's network environment. This will allow the wider diversity of data ingested by the UNIDATA SDM software to be viewed using the more comprehensive display software and looping capability of PC-McIDAS. It will also allow McIDAS data to be archived on the larger disks and on tape on our Apollo network. PC-McIDAS is used extensively for both educational and research activities. It has enhanced the teaching of synoptic meteorology courses offered in the department, allowing the student to interactively analyze meteorological data. It is also being used to assist the training of Saudi Arabian meteorologists participating in a special training program set up within the department. PC-McIDAS is routinely taken into the field to provide forecasting support for the department's research aircraft.
