The Atmospheric Sciences Department at Creighton University will expand it PC network and add a UNIX base workstation to the network. The present PC configuration which runs McIDAS software has proven to be a useful tool for interactive display of meteorological data, but this system is inadequate to meet the teaching and research goals of the department. This award will augment Creighton's present network which consists of IBM Models 80 and 70. Funds to purchase three new 486-based PC will be awarded. In addition, a UNIX-based workstation will be awarded. The workstation will greatly enhance the capability with the addition of a workstation to run several meteorological software packages which are not available on PC hardware. This new equipment will become a vital tool in many of Creighton's classes which expose students to computer-based meteorological displays. The additional equipment also will expand opportunities for undergraduate and graduate research.

Creighton University的大气科学系将扩大IT PC网络，并在网络中添加UNIX基本工作站。 事实证明，当前运行MCIDAS软件的PC配置是用于交互式显示气象数据的有用工具，但是该系统不足以满足该部门的教学和研究目标。 该奖项将增强Creighton的现在网络，该网络由IBM型号80和70组成。将授予购买三台新的486个基于486个PC的资金。 此外，还将授予基于UNIX的工作站。 工作站将通过添加工作站来大大增强功能，以运行多个气象软件包，这些软件软件包在PC硬件上不可用。 在Creighton的许多课程中，这种新设备将成为至关重要的工具，该工具使学生接触到基于计算机的气象显示器。 额外的设备还将扩大本科和研究生研究的机会。
