Project ATMOSPHERE: Weather Sensing, Analyzing, and Forecasting Summer Workshops for Teachers

美国气象学会（AMS）成立于1919年，是一个科学和专业机构，旨在促进大气和相关海洋和水文科学信息的发展和传播，并促进其专业应用。 大气项目是AMS基于大气科学研究的教师增强综合性国家方案。 旨在提高教师在培养学前学生对科学，技术和数学的兴趣和理解方面的效率。 多年来，AMS教育计划与国家气象局（NWS）合作，每年为大气科学硕士教师举办为期两周的研讨会。 该项目在密苏里州堪萨斯城的NWS培训中心举行。 讲习班的目的是提供学习经验，重点是观测、分析和预报天气方面的进展，研究如何将这些成果用于学校的大气环境研究，并为受训人员下一学年在其家乡举办讲习班做好准备。 这项建议是要求为1999年和2000年夏季举办的学前教师讲习班提供部分支助。 大气科学司过去曾为该讲习班提供部分资金，目前的奖学金继续为1999年和2000年夏季提供略高水平的资助。

The American Meterololgical Society (AMS), founded in 1919, is a scientific and professional body which promotes the development and dissemination of information of the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrological sciences and the advancement of their professional applications. Project ATMOSPHERE, is the AMS' comprehensive national program of teacher enhancement based on studies in the atmospheric sciences. it is directed toward improving teacher effectiveness in generating interest and understanding in science, technology and mathematics among precollege students. For number of years, the AMS Education Program has run an annual two-week workshop for Master Teachers of Atmospheric Sciences in coordination with the National Weather Service (NWS). The program is held at the NWS Training Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The purpose of the workshop is to provide learning experiences that focus on advances in observing, analyzing and forecasting weather, to examine ways in which the products of these can be employed in school studies of the atmospheric environment and prepare the trainees to conduct sessions in their home areas in the next school year. This proposal is a request for partial support for a workshop for precollege teachers to be held in the summers of 1999 and 2000. The Division of Atmospheric Sciences has provided partial funding for this workshop in the past and the present award continues support of a slightly higher level for the summers of 1999 and 2000.
