项目摘要

With the additional resources we propose to undertake the following activities:Extension to contract for Dr Lucy Veale, PDRA for 4 months part time (50%). Dr Veale's continued appointment will enable the following activities to be administered and accomplished. Field-based testing of the 'Weather Walks' mobile phone application: The technical work carried out during the existing project has been experimental in nature. Extra time and a modest amount of funding would allow us to expand the testing of the application from our own small 'on site' and office-based tests to a larger multi user study in the field. The field testing group is likely to be recruited from local membership of the Royal Geographical Society- with the Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG) and/ or members of amateur meteorology and enthusiast groups such as Climatological Observers Link (COL), an existing community of amateur weather observers (with whom Endfield and Veale have links through previous project work). The test would be publicised through the media channels of partner organisations the Royal Meteorological Society and the RGS-IBG, and would be designed to hold value for the 'Discovering Britain' initiative of the RGS-IBG in exploring the potential for a mobile phone application to be rolled out across the project, covering walks nationwide. The team are also looking into whether it may be possible for our app to be made available for free download from the app store.Preparation of papers and presentations for key conference presentations: As the project has progressed we have begun to explore issues relating to the translation of archival materials into digital forms. This is a particularly innovative arena which would lend itself to academic papers and conference presentations. A paper would also be presented at the RGS-IBG Annual Conference in 2013, as part of a session that Georgina Endfield, Lucy Veale and Gary Priestnall would organise in association with Dr Jenny Lunn ('Discovering Britain' Project Manager).Workshop: A one day 'Talking Weather' pre RGS-IBG conference workshop is proposed, for the Summer / Autumn of 2013. The intention would be to discuss the use of different methodologies and approaches to explore weather memories and experiences. Together, the two experiments adopted in the original proposal make use of archival records, personal reflections, and experiences recorded through oral histories and digital media sources. The purpose would be to discuss these approaches with representatives of academic and non-academic communities, meteorological organisations, members of the public involved in the 'weather talks and weather walk', professional meteorologists, students and researchers (15-20 people in total). The workshop would also be timely, marking as it does 60 years since Gordon Manley, the focus of the Weather walk, first published the longest historical temperature series based directly on thermometer readings, thee Central England Temperature series, in 1953. Key MilestonesActivities would begin in February 2013 as a direct continuation of the current project. The field-test of the mobile phone application would take place in early spring to take advantage of improving weather and to allow the greatest time possible for refining the application.The RGS-IBG conference will take place in London between 28-30th August 2013, but the organisation of the session will begin in late winter/ early spring while the PDRA is employed on the project. The session will be framed to fit the conference theme of 'New Geographical Frontiers'. The CHI Conference takes place in late April 2014 (just outside the specified 'end date') although the abstract of the paper will be prepared at the close of the project to be ready for an October 2013 submission.The "Talking Weather" methods workshop would be held in summer 2013 as a pre-RGS-IBG conference. Preparations for this need to be completed by Spring 2013. Added Value to Current ProjectThe existing project will (by its completion in February 2013), have produced a guided audio walk around the Great Dun Fell area of the North Pennines with an accompanying mobile phone application in prototype format. Extra resources would enable the coordination of further testing (by an independent user group) and development of this application into an app that could be freely available to download from the android app store. The roll out of this app to the other 'Discovering Britain' walks would also be explored with RGS-IBG. Preparation of conference papers for both geography and computer-science conferences would enable the project seem to distribute the research more widely in academic circles, whilst also refining written papers based on the research completed. The session on 'Discovering Britain' would bring together authors of a number of the walks to share experiences and discuss ideas for future use. The pre conference workshop at the RGS-IBG would enable us to engage more members of the public in the research project, involving them in the memory bank and furthering public understanding of meteorology.

有了额外的资源，我们建议开展以下活动：延长露西维尔博士的合同，PDRA 4个月的兼职（50%）。Veale博士的继续任命将使以下活动得以管理和完成。“天气漫步”移动的电话应用程序的实地测试：在现有项目期间进行的技术工作具有实验性质。额外的时间和少量的资金将使我们能够将应用程序的测试从我们自己的小型“现场”和基于办公室的测试扩展到更大的现场多用户研究。实地测试小组可能从皇家地理学会的当地会员中招募-与英国地理学家协会（RGS-IBG）和/或业余气象学和爱好者团体的成员，如气候观测者联系（COL），现有的业余气象观测者社区（Endfield和Veale通过以前的项目工作与他们建立了联系）。该测试将通过合作伙伴组织皇家气象学会和RGS-IBG的媒体渠道进行宣传，并将被设计为对RGS-IBG的“发现英国”倡议具有价值，以探索在整个项目中推出移动的电话应用程序的潜力，覆盖全国各地的步行。该团队还在研究是否可以从应用商店免费下载我们的应用程序。为重要会议演讲准备论文和演讲：随着项目的进展，我们开始探索将档案材料翻译成数字形式的相关问题。这是一个特别创新的竞技场，可以发表学术论文和会议报告。一份文件也将在2013年的RGS-IBG年会上提交，作为乔治娜·恩菲尔德、露西·维尔和加里·普里斯特纳尔与珍妮·伦恩博士（“发现英国”项目经理）共同组织的会议的一部分。研讨会：建议在2013年夏季/秋季举行为期一天的“谈论天气”的RGS-IBG会议前研讨会。目的是讨论如何使用不同的方法和途径来探索天气记忆和经验。最初的提案中采用的两个实验一起利用了档案记录、个人反思以及通过口述历史和数字媒体来源记录的经验。目的是与学术及非学术团体的代表、气象组织、参与“天气讲座及天气步行”的公众人士、专业气象学家、学生及研究人员（共15至20人）讨论这些方法。研讨会也将是及时的，因为它标志着60年以来，戈登曼利，天气步行的重点，第一次出版了最长的历史温度系列直接基于温度计读数，英格兰中部温度系列，在1953年。关键里程碑活动将于2013年2月开始，作为当前项目的直接延续。移动的电话应用程序的现场测试将在早春进行，以利用天气好转的优势，并允许尽可能多的时间来完善应用程序。RGS-IBG会议将于2013年8月28日至30日在伦敦举行，但会议的组织将在冬末/早春开始，而PDRA将被用于该项目。本次会议将以“新的地理前沿”为主题。CHI会议将于2014年4月下旬举行（刚好在指定的“结束日期”之外），尽管论文摘要将在项目结束时准备好，以备2013年10月提交。“Talking Weather”方法研讨会将于2013年夏季举行，作为RGS-IBG会议之前的一次会议。这方面的准备工作需要在2013年春季之前完成。现有项目的附加值（到2013年2月完成时）将在北奔宁山脉的大敦费尔地区制作一个带导游的音频步行，并附带一个原型格式的移动的电话应用程序。额外的资源将使进一步的测试协调（由一个独立的用户组）和开发这个应用程序到一个应用程序，可以免费下载从android应用程序商店。将这款应用推广到其他“发现英国”步行活动也将与RGS-IBG一起探索。为地理和计算机科学会议准备会议论文将使该项目能够在学术界更广泛地传播研究成果，同时也根据已完成的研究成果改进书面论文。“发现英国”会议将汇集一些步行的作者，分享经验，讨论未来使用的想法。在RGS-IBG的会前工作坊将使我们能够让更多的公众参与研究项目，让他们参与记忆库，并加深公众对气象学的了解。
