Unidata Summer Workshop 2006: Expanding the Use of Models in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences; Boulder, Colorado; July 10-14, 2006

这是一个计划于2006年7月10日至14日在科罗拉多州博尔德举行的研讨会。研讨会的题目是“在大气和相关科学中扩大模型作为教育工具的使用”。研讨会的主要目标是：1)为教师提供一种方法来扩展计算模型在传统的本科和研究生课程中的使用，这将有助于帮助学生熟悉数值模型、显示软件和基于web的脚本语言，同时允许动手，可视化的方法，这些方法已经由我们社区的教师开发；2)促进教师在社区内开发的现有资源的共享；这种分享将使我们能够相互学习如何最好地将简单模型打包为教育工具；3)层次（即大一到大四本科生和研究生）。也就是说，在我们的课程中，哪些概念是必不可少的？在数值建模方面，我们实际应该期望毕业生具备哪些知识和熟练程度？相关目标包括：(i)组装一套模型（以及附带的教育包装），用于向本科生和研究生教授大气科学的基本概念；（ii）确定和发展计算和可视化技术的创造性用途，作为“动手”教学工具，提供给讲习班参与者。

This is a workshop scheduled for July 10-14, 2006 in Boulder, CO. The workshop is entitled "Expanding the Use of Models as Educational Tools in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences." The primary goals of the workshop are to: 1) provide a means for faculty to expand the use of computational models in traditional undergraduate and graduate courses, which will serve to help familiarize students with numerical models, display software, and web-based scripting languages, while allowing a hands-on, visual approach that have been developed by the faculty in our community; 2) promote the sharing of existing resources that have been developed by the faculty in our community; this sharing will allow us to learn from one another as to how to best package simple models as educational tools; 3) levels (i.e., freshman to senior undergraduate students, and graduate students). That is, what concepts are essential to integrate into our courses, and what knowledge and proficiencies should we realistically expect in our graduates with regard to numerical modeling? Related objectives include (i) assembling a collection of models (and accompanying educational packaging) designed for use in teaching fundamental concepts of atmospheric science to undergraduate and graduate students; (ii) identifying and developing creative uses of computational and visualization technology for use as "hands on" instructional tools to be made available to workshop participants.
