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能够集成到该部门的网络环境中。这将允许使用PC-McIDAS的更全面的显示软件和循环功能来查看UNIDATA SDM软件摄取的更广泛的数据多样性。它还允许将McIDAS数据归档到阿波罗网络上较大的磁盘和磁带上。PC-McIDAS广泛用于教育和研究活动。它加强了本系天气气象课程的教学，使学生能够交互式地分析气象资料。它还被用来协助培训参加该部门设立的一个特别培训计划的沙特阿拉伯气象学家。PC-McIDAS经常被带到现场，为该部门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.
