9714939 Winter Funding provided by this grant will provide a workstation which is needed to support the educational and research goals of the University of Puerto Rico which includes a Department of Atmospheric Sciences. The McIDAS program has initiated much interest in weather phenomena, especially of the Caribbean region, amongst the students and faculty. In the fall of 1997 the present UNIDATA facilities will be moved to a new larger location. While UNIDATA software currently runs on a loaned computer, students and facilty need their own UNIX workstations. The University of Puerto Rico has committed matching funds to supply the necessary number of PCs which will be networked to the workstation and provide students with a unique experience to study meteorological phenomena. A large number of students are expected to take this landmark course in meteorology which should build the necessary human resources to lead Puerto Rico in atmospheric research and teaching.

9714939这笔赠款提供的冬季资金将提供一个支持波多黎各大学教育和研究目标所需的工作站，该大学包括大气科学系。McIDAS项目引起了学生和教职员工对天气现象，特别是加勒比海地区天气现象的极大兴趣。1997年秋季，裁研所现有的设施将迁往一个新的更大的地点。虽然裁研所的软件目前运行在一台借来的计算机上，但学生和设施需要自己的Unix工作站。波多黎各大学已承诺提供相应的资金，以提供必要数量的个人计算机，这些个人计算机将联网到工作站，为学生提供研究气象现象的独特体验。预计将有大量学生参加这门里程碑式的气象学课程，该课程将培养必要的人力资源，以领导波多黎各的大气研究和教学。
