The Atmospheric Sciences Department is modernizing its McIDAS student laboratory through acquisition of three new Pentium-based personal computers to upgrade the old McIDAS OS/2 PC-based network. Additional support equipment, in the form of a color laser printer and memory upgrades for a limited number of the old OS/2 PCs, is also being implemented to enable the department to fully exploit the future McIDAS OS/2 capabilities, to improve the data distribution system and for providing a processing base capable of hosting the intended improvements to the basic software as supplied by UNIDATA. This new equipment is a vital tool in many of the classes wherein the students interpret and develop computer-based meteorological displays. The new OS/2-based PCs provide a workstation-like environment for expanded research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. The addition of these workstations to the laboratory frees older PCs for use by the introductory classes and laboratories, thus allowing the upper-class undergraduate students to concentrate their efforts on the new equipment.

大气科学系正在通过收购三台新的基于pentium的个人计算机来升级旧的MCIDAS OS/2基于PC的网络，从而使其MCIDAS学生实验室现代化。还以有限数量的旧OS/2 PC的形式以颜色激光打印机的形式和内存升级形式进行实施，以使该部门能够充分利用未来的MCIDAS OS/2功能，以改善数据分配系统并为UnidiData提供的基本软件提供托管预期软件的处理基础。 在许多课程中，这种新设备是学生解释和开发基于计算机的气象显示器的重要工具。新的基于OS/2的PC为本科生和研究生提供了类似工作站的环境。将这些工作站的添加到实验室中释放了较旧的PC，以供入门班和实验室使用，从而使上层本科生可以将精力集中在新设备上。
