Under the Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) Program, the Principal Investigator and collaborators will bring 30 undergraduate students to Norman, Oklahoma during the late Spring and Summers of 1999 and 2000 to participate in the Oklahoma Weather Center (OWC) REU program. Each year, ten students will be selected from across the United States to participate in the program. REU students will conduct research on an atmospheric science topic, under the supervision of mentors at the Weather Center. In addition to research, the student will participate in field programs, tours of Weather Center facilities, workshops, field trips, and lectures. These activities are designed to produce a well-rounded summer learning experience. Student participants will also prepare and present a paper reporting the results of their research to members of the Oklahoma Weather Center Community. Housing, transportation and a modest stipend will be provided to make the program accessible to economically disadvantaged students who must work during summers to support their continuing education. Special efforts will be made to recruit members of underrepresented groups in science and mathematics (Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and women). This will be done by actively recruiting students at conferences such as the American Indian Science and Engineering conference and scheduling recruiting visits to some Historically Black Colleges and Universities, and Tribal Colleges and Universities. Notification of the REU program will be given to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities through fliers, brochures, and electronic mail. The objectives of the proposed Oklahoma Weather Center REU are:1. Recruit and acquire a diverse pool of applications from qualified American undergraduate students who attend colleges and universities across the country2. Select a diverse, qualified group of undergraduate students to participate in the program3. Provide a World-class educational research experience for undergraduates under the supervision of dedicated mentors, with access to cutting edge research facilities at the Oklahoma Weather Center4. Match students with significant research projects that can be completed within a 10 week time frame5. Evaluate the REU program through the use of student questionnaires, interviews with mentors and comparisons with past OWC REU programs6. Track student participants for a total of 5 to 10 years after the program

根据本科生研究经验（REU）计划，主要研究者和合作者将在1999年春末和2000年夏季将30名本科生带到俄克拉荷马州诺曼参加俄克拉荷马州气象中心（OWC）REU计划。 每年将从美国各地选出10名学生参加该计划。 REU学生将在气象中心导师的监督下进行大气科学主题的研究。 除了研究，学生将参加实地项目，气象中心设施，研讨会，实地考察和讲座的图尔斯。 这些活动旨在提供全面的夏季学习体验。 学生参与者还将准备并提交一篇论文，向俄克拉荷马州气象中心社区的成员报告他们的研究结果。 将提供住房、交通和适度的津贴，使经济上处于不利地位的学生能够参加该方案，他们必须在夏季工作，以支持他们的继续教育。 将特别努力招募科学和数学领域代表性不足的群体的成员（美洲原住民、非洲裔美国人、西班牙裔美国人和妇女）。 这将通过在会议上积极招募学生，如美国印第安人科学与工程会议，并安排对一些历史上的黑人学院和大学以及部落学院和大学的招聘访问来完成。 REU计划的通知将通过传单、小册子和电子邮件发送给历史上的黑人学院和大学、部落学院和大学以及西班牙裔学院和大学协会。拟议的俄克拉荷马州气象中心REU的目标是：1。从在全国各地的学院和大学就读的合格美国本科生中招募并获得多样化的申请。选择一个多样化的，合格的本科生群体参加该计划3。在专职导师的监督下为本科生提供世界一流的教育研究体验，并可使用俄克拉荷马州气象中心的尖端研究设施4。将学生与可以在10周时间内完成的重要研究项目相匹配5。通过使用学生问卷、与导师的访谈以及与过去OWC REU课程的比较6来评估REU课程。在项目结束后的5至10年内跟踪学生参与者
