AGS-FIRP Track 1: The 2023 University of Nebraska DOW (Doppler on Wheels) Education and Outreach (UNDEO-2023) Project

该奖项将为车轮上多普勒（DOW）移动的雷达的教育部署提供资金，该雷达是大气研究教育设施（FARE）计划支持的社区仪器和设施（CIF）仪器套件的一部分。该项目旨在为内布拉斯加大学雷达气象学课程的本科生和研究生提供使用研究雷达为小型学生驱动的研究项目收集数据的机会;提高学生的科学素养在大招生普通教育气象学课程;并向当地K-12学生展示DOW设施。该项目将使基于实地的研究经验整合到课程中，并促进学生对天气雷达理论和应用的理解。该项目还将有助于发展具有全球竞争力的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）劳动力，并通过提供教育机会改善STEM教育，使学生能够获得雷达气象学，现场程序设计和执行，科学数据收集和分析，该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will provide funding for an educational deployment of the Doppler on Wheels (DOW) mobile radar which is part of the Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF) suite of instruments supported by the Facilities for Atmospheric Research & Education (FARE) program. The project aims to aims to provide undergraduate and graduate students in the University of Nebraska’s Radar Meteorology course an opportunity to use a research radar to collect data for small student-driven research projects; improve scientific literacy of students in a large-enrollment general-education meteorology course; and exhibit the DOW facility to local K-12 students. The project will enable integration of field-based research experience into the course curriculum and advance student understanding of weather radar theory and application. The project will also contribute to the development of a globally competitive science, technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce and improved STEM education by providing an educational opportunity that enables students to gain experience and professional skills in radar meteorology, field-program design and execution, scientific data collection and analysis, and scientific communication.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
