UNIDATA Equipment for Curriculum Improvement

这项奖励是为了奖励购买计算机设备，以加强亚利桑那大学大气科学系内现有的裁研所项目。裁研所是一个方案，旨在通过创新应用当前的计算和网络技术，增强大学的能力，以便最大限度地利用大气和相关数据来加强教育和研究。具体地说，这笔赠款将升级现有的工作站和中央数据管理硬件。此外，裁研所系统还将增加四个新的工作站。这一升级将为教职员工和学生提供增强的裁研所能力，并用于研究和教学。这种设备将使首席调查员能够更好地教育气象科学研究生，并吸引和留住本科生投身科学事业。

This award is for the purchase of computer equipment to enhance the existing UNIDATA program within the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona. UNIDATA is a program to empower universities, through innovative applications of current computing and networking technology, to make the best use of atmospheric and related data for enhancing education and research. Specifically this grant will upgrade existing workstations and central data management hardware. In addition, four new workstations will be added to the UNIDATA system. This upgrade will provide enhanced UNIDATA capabilities to faculty and students and be used for research and teaching. This equipment will better enable the principal investigator to educate graduate students in the meteorological sciences and attract and retain undergrades to a career in the sciences.
