Enhancement of the Research and Instructional Capability at SUNY Oswego

纽约州立大学奥斯威戈分校的气象学家在进行一项受资助的研究，其中涉及冬季风暴的数值模拟，同时试图用一台有5年历史的惠普工作站和几台个人电脑训练大约70名气象专业的学生使用天气分析Unidata软件。我们的学生对Unidata产品（如GARP）的使用迅速增加，已经超过了这个工作站的教学使用能力。此外，在过去的两年里，教师和学生使用这台机器进行研究的机会大大减少了。Oswego需要一个Linux工作站和四个新的终端来满足它的需求。

BallentineATM-9815963The meteorologists at SUNY Oswego have engaged in funded research involving numerical simulation of winter storms while attempting to train approximately 70 meteorology majors in weather analysis Unidata software with a 5-year-old Hewlett-Packard workstation and several PC's. The rapid increase in the usage by our students of Unidata products such as GARP has exceeeded the capability of this workstation for instructional use. Moreover, the access to the machine for faculty and student research has decreased significantly in the last two years. Oswego is requesting a Linux workstation and four new terminals to meet its needs.
