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.

克雷顿大学大气科学系将扩展其个人电脑网络，并在网络中增加一个Unix基础工作站。目前运行McIDAS软件的PC配置已被证明是一种有用的气象数据交互显示工具，但该系统不足以满足该系的教学和研究目标。该奖项将扩大Creighton目前的网络，该网络由IBM型号80和70组成。购买三台新的基于486的个人电脑的资金将被授予。此外，还将授予一台基于Unix的工作站。该工作站将大大增强其能力，增加一台工作站，以运行PC硬件上无法运行的几个气象软件包。这种新设备将成为Creighton的许多课堂上的重要工具，让学生接触到基于计算机的气象显示。额外的设备还将扩大本科生和研究生的研究机会。
