A Satellite Meteorology Course for University Faculty (with Emphasis on the Application of GOES Data)

大学大气研究公司(UCAR)将通过一个项目加强卫星气象学的本科教育，该项目的重点是为大学教员举办为期两周的综合教师课程，该课程将于1998年6月1日至12日在科罗拉多州博尔德市的业务气象学、教育和培训合作方案(COMET~)课堂设施中举行。这将有助于满足升级卫星气象学教育的需要，尽管气象卫星能力最近取得了进展，但目前本科课程对卫星气象学教育的处理非常有限。作为该计划的结果，参与者将能够利用新技术，通过加强对遥感原理以及在天气预报和研究中的应用的理解，来提高他们对卫星气象学的知识。参与者将参与一个后续项目，以开发在线教学材料，这些材料与教师课程材料一起，将通过万维网广泛提供。

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) will enhance undergraduate education in satellite meteorology by means of a project centered on a comprehensive, two-week faculty course for university faculty, to be held 1-12 June 1998 at the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology, Education and Training (COMET~) classroom facilities in Boulder, Colorado. This will help fulfill the need to upgrade satellite meteorology education, which at present receives very limited treatment in undergraduate programs, despite recent advances in meteorological satellite capabilities. As a result of the program, participants will be able to exploit new technologies to improve their knowledge of satellite meteorology through enhanced understanding of remote sensing principles and applications to weather forecasting and research. Participants will engage in a follow-up project to develop on-line instructional materials which, along with the faculty course materials, will be made widely available via the World-Wide Web.
