High Performance Connections to the Internet

该奖项是在ANIR的“互联网连接”公告NSF 98-102的高性能连接部分下颁发的。它为DS-3到vBNS的连接提供了两年的部分支持。应用包括遥感、水资源评估、苏必利尔湖温度制图、雪深制图、高光谱航天器数据处理、内部凝结流模拟；DNA和蛋白质序列的计算分析、大分子系统的远程建模、火山、地震和石油数据的测量、获取/开发坠机位置、道路软质和连续天空数据。合作机构包括密歇根大学、南佛罗里达大学、阿拉斯加大学、美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）、空军研究实验室、劳伦斯利弗莫尔实验室、密歇根州交通部和公路安全规划办公室。

This award is made under the high performance connections portion of ANIR's "Connections to the Internet" announcement, NSF 98-102. It provides partial support for two years for a DS-3 connection to the vBNS. Applications involve remote sensing, water assessment, temperature mapping of Lake Superior, snow depth mapping, processing hyperspectral spacecraft data, simulation of internal condensing flows; computational analysis of DNA and protein sequences, remote modeling of large molecular systems, measurement of volcanic, seismic and petroleum data, obtaining /developing crash location, roadsoft and continuous sky data. Collaborating institutions include University of Michigan, University of South Florida, Unversity of Alaska, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Air Force Research lab, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, Michigan Department of Transportation, and the Office of Highway Safety Planning.
