Use of Real-Time NWS Products in Introductory and Intermediate Course

地理系正在购买卫星接收和数据显示设备，以便将实时天气图纳入理科和非理科专业的气象学课程。学生正在使用天气地图作为他们实验室体验的一部分，以及观察每天发生的天气变化。这个项目的意义在于：1)将当前的大气条件融入到学生的学习体验中，从而让学生直接参与课程的主题；2)记录科学与非理科学生的相关性；3)激发学生对大气行为的好奇心，以及4)在气象学入门课程中为非理科学生提供收集和分析数据的机会。

The Department of Geography is purchasing satellite receiving and data display equipment to incorporate real-time weather maps into the meteorology courses for both science and non- science majors. Students are making use of weather maps as part of their laboratory experiences as well as in observing the daily weather variations that occur. The significance of this project is that it: 1) incorporates current atmospheric conditions into the learning experience for the students, thereby allowing the students to become directly involved with the subject matter of the course, 2) documents the relevance of the science to the non-science student, 3) stimulates the curiosity of the students surrounding atmospheric behavior, and 4) provides non-science students with the opportunity to collect and analyze data in an introductory meteorology course.
