ABSTRACTPreparing Meteorology Undergraduates for the "Grand Challenge": a Prototype Course for Hands-on Observations of Climate VariablesThe principal investigator is developing an innovative, undergraduate level course that focuses on meteorological instrumentation and observations of climate variables, along with the analysis and interpretation of climate data, and community interactions to develop cause-effect associations. The course involves hands-on training with meteorological instrumentation and analysis of climate variables using real-time and archived data, and web-based models. The curriculum introduces undergraduate students to practical applications of field instrumentation, measurements and observations while introducing them to the synthesis of heterogeneous instrumentation output with human observations. The project promotes and emphasizes student - community interactions for understanding the microvariability in climatological observations, and its feedback on regional perceptions. It focuses on educating students on climate analysis both as a monitoring and outlook problem, and employs a variety of field-tested instrumentation (radiation, micrometeorological and air pollution related) and calibration facilities. .

气象学本科生“大挑战”准备：气候变量的实际观测的原型课程主要研究者正在开发一个创新的，本科水平的课程，侧重于气象仪器和气候变量的观测，沿着气候数据的分析和解释，以及社区互动，以发展因果关系。 该课程包括使用气象仪器和使用实时和存档数据以及网络模型分析气候变量的实践培训。 该课程向本科生介绍现场仪器，测量和观察的实际应用，同时向他们介绍异构仪器输出与人类观察的合成。 该项目促进并强调学生与社区的互动，以了解气候观测的微观变化及其对区域感知的反馈。 它侧重于教育学生气候分析，既作为监测问题，也作为展望问题，并采用各种实地测试仪器（辐射，微气象和空气污染相关）和校准设施。 .
