A network of X-terminals and workstations linked to Zephyr satellite data receiving systems allow the interactive display and analysis of weather data in classroom activities. Both historical data ('Weather Disk' CD-ROM) and current daily weather data (UNIDATA channel) are available. Specific activities include review of the daily weather maps, as well as synoptic and dynamic weather elements. Also, vertical temperature profiles, isopleth mapping, evolution of weather patterns, and statistical forecast evaluation is quickly obtained through the use of the graphics workstations. This project also allows teaching of a new Honors section focusing on modeling. This gives students a better understanding of atmospheric science, weather analysis, and forecasting. They also investigate specific phenomena using historical data.

连接到 Zephyr 卫星数据接收系统的 X 终端和工作站网络允许在课堂活动中交互式显示和分析天气数据。历史数据（“天气盘”CD-ROM）和当前每日天气数据（UNIDATA 频道）均可用。具体活动包括审查每日天气图以及天气和动态天气要素。此外，通过使用图形工作站，可以快速获得垂直温度剖面、等值线图、天气模式的演变和统计预报评估。该项目还允许教授一个新的荣誉课程，重点是建模。这使学生更好地了解大气科学、天气分析和预报。他们还利用历史数据调查特定现象。
