UNIDATA - Based Weather Laboratory

连接到Zephyr的X终端和工作站网络 卫星数据接收系统允许交互式显示 和分析天气数据的课堂活动。两 历史数据（“天气盘”光盘）和当前每日数据 天气数据（UNIDATA频道）。具体 活动还包括查看每日天气图， 作为天气和动力的天气要素。此外，垂直 温度廓线，等值线图，天气演变 模式，统计预测评估是快速 通过使用图形工作站获得。这 该项目还允许一个新的荣誉部分的教学重点 关于模特这使学生更好地了解 大气科学、天气分析和预报。他们 也可以用历史数据来研究具体现象。

A network of X-terminals and workstations linked to Zephyr satellite data receiving systems allow the interactive display and analysis of weather data in classroom activities. Both historical data ('Weather Disk' CD-ROM) and current daily weather data (UNIDATA channel) are available. Specific activities include review of the daily weather maps, as well as synoptic and dynamic weather elements. Also, vertical temperature profiles, isopleth mapping, evolution of weather patterns, and statistical forecast evaluation is quickly obtained through the use of the graphics workstations. This project also allows teaching of a new Honors section focusing on modeling. This gives students a better understanding of atmospheric science, weather analysis, and forecasting. They also investigate specific phenomena using historical data.
