Technology for a Modern Meteorology Program

这个奖项给纽约市立大学的城市学院是为了响应提交给NSF的仪器和实验室改进计划的一项提案，该计划的目标是扩大对本科教学仪器的支持。该合同将提供所需资金的一半，用于购买近实时数据采集和处理气象数据的计算机硬件和软件。该机构致力于匹配NSF对该设备的贡献。仪器将用于加强本科气象课程，并为学生提供获取和处理第一手气象数据的机会。

This award to City College of the City University of New York is made in response to a proposal submitted to the NSF's Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program, a program whose goal is to extend support for undergraduate instructional instrumentation. The award will provide one-half of the funds needed to acquire the computer hardware and software for near real-time data acquisition and processing of meteorological data. The institution is committed to matching the NSF contribution for this equipment. The instrumentation will be used to enhance the undergraduate meteorology curriculum and to provide the opportunity for students to acquire and process meteorological data first-hand.
