Enhancing Meteorological Analysis and Display Capabilities by Joining the UNIDATA Community: A UNIDATA Equipment Grant

宾夕法尼亚州立大学气象系请求为该系现有计算机能力的升级提供部分支持。这次升级是对宾夕法尼亚州立大学现有计算设施进行彻底检修的一部分，也是从宾夕法尼亚州立大学开发的天气分析和显示系统过渡到使用Unidata提供的软件的一部分。此外，过渡将包括以社区标准格式存档数据，例如Unidata开发的格式。宾夕法尼亚州立大学计划花费大约10万美元升级他们目前的计算和教室显示系统的各个部分。请求支持购买两台服务器、两个工作站、磁盘存储和网络组件。该硬件将成为整个部门升级的重要组成部分。

The Department of Meteorology at Penn State University requests partial support for an upgrade of present computer capacity in the department. This upgrade is part of a complete overhaul of Penn State's present computing facilities and is part of a transition from Penn State-developed weather analysis and display system to use of Unidata provided software. In addition, the transition will include archiving data in community-standard formats, such as those developed by Unidata. Penn State is planning to spend approximately $100,000 upgrading various parts of their current computing and classroom display systems. Support to acquire two servers, two workstations, disk storage and networking component is requested. This hardware will provide an important component of the overall department upgrade.
