This modest proposal seeks funding to purchase an 8-node computing cluster system to support research and education at the Coastal Carolina University (CCU), a Non-PhD granting institution. The primary use of the cluster will be for undergraduate research training and education in the Applied Physics major, although the machine will be available for general use by the entire university. The cluster will play an integral part in the integration of research and education at CCU, and will strengthen CCU's institutional commitment toward enhancing undergraduate education through inquiry-based learning. The particular focus in the Department of Applied Physics will be on two topics: global circulation model simulations of mesosphere-stratosphere-troposphere coupling and how that impacts ozone variability, and mesoscale model simulations to explore the dynamics and impacts of gravity waves.

这一温和的建议寻求资金购买一个8节点计算集群系统，以支持在沿海卡罗莱纳大学（CCU），非博士授予机构的研究和教育。该集群的主要用途将是应用物理专业的本科生研究培训和教育，尽管该机器将可供整个大学的一般使用。该集群将在CCU的研究和教育整合中发挥不可或缺的作用，并将加强CCU对通过探究式学习加强本科教育的机构承诺。在应用物理系的特别重点将是两个主题：全球环流模型模拟中间层-平流层-对流层耦合，以及如何影响臭氧的变化，和中尺度模型模拟，以探索重力波的动态和影响。
