UNIDATA: Expansion of a PC McIDAS Network for Enhanced Eduation and Research

克雷顿大学的大气科学系将 扩展其PC网络，并将UNIX基础工作站添加到 网络 运行McIDAS软件的当前PC配置 已被证明是一个有用的工具， 气象数据，但该系统不足以满足 系的教学和科研目标。 这个奖项将 增强Creighton现有的由IBM Model 80组成的网络 和70. 购买三台基于486的新PC的资金将被授予。 此外，还将颁发一个基于UNIX的工作站。 的 工作站将大大提高能力， 运行多个气象软件包 这在PC硬件上是不可用的。 新设备将 成为Creighton的许多课程中的重要工具， 学生们可以使用电脑气象显示器。 附加 设备也将扩大本科生的机会， 毕业研究。

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.
