The Wyoming King Air as a National Facility

小行星9319141 通过遥感和现场测量对大气进行观测是推进大气科学所必需的。 在过去的四十年里，装有仪器的研究飞机在提供这些观测方面发挥了宝贵的作用。 在今后几年里，对这种飞机的需求将是巨大的，用于研究范围广泛的研究问题，包括大气化学、中尺度气象学和云物理学。 大气科学的这些领域是未来十年高度优先的研究领域。 该奖项使整个大气科学界都可以使用怀俄明州大学的空中国王研究飞机。怀俄明州空中国王将被视为所有其他大气科学社区设施与分配正在作出的NSF设施咨询理事会的基础上，社区同行评审过程。怀俄明州大学的人员在空中研究方面经验丰富，空中国王是一个技术先进的研究平台。 在过去三年的奖项，大学在服务社会需求方面表现出色。 该奖项还有助于维持怀俄明州大学在空中研究方面的积极计划，并通过与其他大学的新兴协议将这种教育效益扩展到其他机构。 在过去的三年里，怀俄明州大学培养了许多优秀的空中研究科学家。 ***

9319141 Marwitz Observations of the atmosphere through remote sensing and in-situ measurement are necessary for advancement in atmospheric science. Instrumented research aircraft have been invaluable in providing these observations over the last four decades. The need for such aircraft will be great over the next few years for research covering a broad range of research problems including atmospheric chemistry, mesoscale meteorology and cloud physics. These areas of atmospheric science are high priority research areas for the next decade. This award makes available to the entire atmospheric sciences community the University of Wyoming King Air research aircraft. The Wyoming King Air will be treated as all other atmospheric sciences community facilities with allocation being made by an NSF Facility Advisory Council based on a community peer-review process. The University of Wyoming personnel are experienced in airborne research and the King Air is a state-of-the-technology research platform. During a previous three year award, the University demonstrated exceptional performance in servicing the community needs. This award also helps maintain an active program in airborne research at the University of Wyoming and extends this educational benefit to other institutions through emerging agreements with other universities. The University of Wyoming produced many excellent airborne research scientists over the last three years. ***
