Upgrading of meteorological and computational facilities at Blandy Experimental Farm

迈克尔·鲍尔斯博士是研究协调员， 弗吉尼亚大学布兰迪实验农场， 要求支持农场气象系统的升级 站和现场微机进行数据处理。 研究 在这个野外观测站包括旧的野外演替研究， 植物生理学、植物/动物相互作用和地下水 水文学 改善环境数据将有利于以下方面的研究： 所有这些领域。 新的气象站将包括自动数据记录 设备，将提高的准确性和可靠性， 数据记录。 一台新的微型计算机将增加对 分析气象站的天气数据和其他环境数据， 数据库（数字地图、年度土壤调查、地下水 水平）和记录（地图，航空照片，植物标本， 植物园）。

Dr. Michael Bowers is the Research Coordinator at the University of Virginia's Blandy Experimental Farm, and he requests support for an upgrade of the Farm's meteorological station and on-site microcomputers for data processing. Research at this field station includes old field succession studies, plant physiology, plant/animal interactions, and ground water hydrology. Improved environmental data would benefit research in all of these areas. The new weather station would include automatic data logging equipment that would increase the accuracy and reliability of the data records. A new microcomputer would increase access to and analyses of the station's weather data and other environmental databases (digital maps, annual soil surveys, ground water levels) and records (maps, aerial photographs, plant specimens in the Arboretum).
