UNIDATA/COMET SUMMER WORKSHOP
Participant Questionaire
4/10/97
(1) For instructional development lab activities
at the workshop, participants will be divided into four groups
based on the following subject content areas:
[A] Survey courses in meteorology and earth
sciences. (Introductory material for both science and non-science
majors related to satellite remote sensing applications in the
atmospheric, solid earth, and ocean sciences.)
[B] Weather forecasting and mesoscale processes.
(Short-term weather prediction, severe weather events, combined
use of models and satellite data.)
[C] Climate, hydrology and earth-atmosphere
interactions. (Cloud climatology, water vapor climatology, land
surface and SST monitoring, precipitation, ice and snow remote
sensing.)
[D] Biogeochemical cycles and air chemistry.
(Topics such as aerosol remote sensing, aerosol-cloud radiative
impacts, surface-air interface processes, stratospheric ozone
monitoring, and future instruments for tropospheric trace gas
detection.) (a) How would you rank these subject-matter areas
based on your expertise in them? (Highest = 1, lowest = 4.)

(2) The goal of the lab activities is to
create WWWeb-based instructional modules or exercises, which will
be written in HTML (HyperText Markup Language). On a scale of
1 (high) to 5 (lowest), how would you rate your expertise with
HTML?
