Upgrade of Climatological Laboratory Facilities at Michigan State University

正在寻求支助以升级密歇根州立大学地理系的气候/气象实验室设施。所要求的设备将提高专用教学实验室中学生与计算机的比例。利用拟议的设备，导论和概论课程中使用的计算机练习将成为可能。学生将可以使用所有基于unix的UNIDATA软件包，教师将能够使用UNIDATA软件进入社区课程。这些改进的计算机设施将用于气候学研究，特别是在研究生和未获资助的研究领域。

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.
