Enhancement of Weather Analysis and Forecasting Laboratory

北方爱荷华州大学寻求资金来更换过时的设备。 UNI将用现有的Unidata系统，如McIDAS和GEMPAK，取代陈旧的设备。 目前，UNI仍在运行过时的OS/2-McIDAS系统。 有了新设备，学生在现有课程和研究中使用实时大气测量的机会将得到扩大。 此外，气象学课程将得到加强，为本科生和教师在大气科学领域提供更多的研究机会。

The University of Northern Iowa seeks funding to replace obsolete equipment. UNI will replace the obsolete equipment with current Unidata systems such as McIDAS and GEMPAK. Currently, UNI is still running the outdated OS/2-McIDAS system. With the new equipment, opportunities will be expanded for student use of real-time atmospheric measurements within existing courses and in research. In addition, meteorology courses will be enhanced to provide greater research opportunities for undergraduate students and faculty in the area of atmospheric sciences.
