Extending the Integration of Unidata Software and Data into Research, Education, and Forecasting at North Carolina State University

北卡罗莱纳州立大学（NCSU）要求支持更换其过时的设备。具体来说，NCSU建议一次性升级到SUN Ultra-60，配备单个450 MHz处理器和1gb RAM。透过升级后的课程，学生可以学习最新的天气分析技术，并能就重要的气象问题进行个案研究。对东海岸天气现象的各种研究将使用观测和模式数据。此外，集中于局部区域的实时中尺度模式对于解决预报问题将是非常有用的。

North Carolina State University (NCSU) requests support to replace its outdated equipment. Specifically, NCSU proposes a one-time upgrade to a SUN Ultra-60 with a single 450 MHz processor, and 1 GB RAM. With the new upgrade, students will be trained in the latest weather analysis techniques and be able to develop case studies for research in important meteorological problems. Various studies of East Coast weather phenomena will use the observations and model data. Furthermore, the real-time mesoscale models that focus on the local area will be very useful in solving forecasting problems.
