UNIDATA: Implementation of the UNIDATA PC McIDAS Weather System into the Broadcast Meteorology Program

提供资金用于购买三台UNIDATA PC-McIDAS 工作站将用于加强教学和研究 在密西西比的广播气象计划中所做的努力 州立大学。 这个节目是为了训练电视 通过校内和校外的课程， PC-McIDAS工作站将接收天气图， 通过卫星获取图像并进行摄取、存储、循环、分析和打印 所要求的数据。 广播气象计划教师和 学生将在课堂和实验室中使用这些数据 设置为校内学生和录像带格式的校外- 校园学生。 气象学本科生和研究生课程 为中等教育学生开设的特别气象学课程 将利用这些数据。 目前的研究 由教师和学生进行将增加与新的 工作站和创建本地天气预报的能力 将扩大。 此外，还将传输PC-McIDAS中的天气图像 传送到大学的主机然后再传送到其他终端 通过以太网通信系统在校园内，允许 持续监测当前天气活动。 天气 数据和信息也将在MSU和其他 气象大学通过互联网系统。

Funds are provided for the purchase of three UNIDATA PC-McIDAS work stations to be used to enhance the teaching and research efforts within the Broadcast Meteorology Program at Mississippi State University. This program is designed to train television weathercasters through on-campus and off-campus courses. The PC-McIDAS work stations will receive weather charts and imagery via satellite and ingest, store, loop, analyze, and print the requested data. Broadcast Meteorology Program faculty and students will utilize the data in both the classroom and laboratory settings for on-campus students and in video tape format for off- campus students. Undergraduate and graduate meteorology courses and special meteorology courses for secondary education students will utilize the data. The current array of research being conducted by both faculty and students will increase with the new work stations and the ability to create local weather forecasts will expand. The weather graphics in the PC-McIDAS will also be transmitted to the Universities' mainframe and then sent to other terminals across campus through the Ethernet communication system, allowing a continuous monitoring of the current weather activity. Weather data and information will also be exchanged between MSU and other meteorological universities through the internet system.
