Upgrade of Climatological Laboratory Facilities at Michigan State University

正在寻求支助，以更新密歇根州立大学地理系的气候学/气象学实验室设施。 所要求的设备将改善专用教学实验室中学生与计算机的比例。 利用拟议的设备，可以进行入门和调查课程中使用的计算机练习。 学生将可以使用所有基于UNIX的UNIDATA软件包，教员将能够利用UNIDATA软件进入社区课程。 这些改良后的电脑设施将可供气候学研究之用，特别是研究生和无基金资助的研究。

Support is sought to upgrade climatological/meteorological laboratory facilities in the Department of Geography at Michigan State University (MSU). The requested equipment will improve the student-to-computer ratio in the dedicated instructional laboratory. Computer-based exercises used in the introductory and survey courses will be made possible with the proposed equipment. Students will have access to all of the UNIX-based UNIDATA software packages and instructors will be able to tap into community curriculum using the UNIDATA software. These improved computer facilities will be available for climatological research, particularly in the areas of graduate student and unfunded research.
