9351390 Sirvatka This project is involving students with methods of data assimilation and presentation early in their study of meteorology. A Local Area Network (LAN) is being established to facilitate optimum acquisition of data, and to allow for student access to the LAN and all its data. A RISC Workstation, three PCs and a laptop PC are providing the core of the LAN, while a laser printer and a video projection system are allowing for effective presentation. The proposed equipment is enabling majors and nonmajors to immerse themselves in laboratory experiences that are supplementing classroom instruction in every course in the meteorology curriculum. Practical operation with emphasis on forecasting and investigation of current research findings is heightening students' critical thinking ability and instilling the process of scientific thinking into the educational experience. Students also are having the opportunity to apply the skills learned in laboratory in cooperation with forecasting done by the Northeast Illinois Severe Weather Spotter Network. ***

9351390 Sirvatka 该项目让学生在气象学学习的早期学习数据同化和呈现方法。 正在建立局域网（LAN），以促进数据的最佳获取，并允许学生访问 LAN 及其所有数据。 一台 RISC 工作站、三台 PC 和一台笔记本电脑构成了 LAN 的核心，而一台激光打印机和一个视频投影系统则实现了有效的演示。 拟议的设备使专业和非专业学生能够沉浸在实验室体验中，这些体验补充了气象学课程中每门课程的课堂教学。 强调对当前研究结果进行预测和调查的实践操作正在提高学生的批判性思维能力，并将科学思维过程灌输到教育经验中。 学生还有机会应用在实验室学到的技能，并与伊利诺伊州东北部恶劣天气观测网络进行的预报合作。 ***
