Area of Interest: meteorology education, climate research

Tell us how you use the Unidata tools in your classroom or reseach: Introductory meteorology - I use McIDAS to prepare graphics for the daily weather summary I give at the begining of each class. In addition, students complete a Weather Watch exercise using our weather website (which contains largely McIDAS products.) Intermediate meteorology - I have students prepare a daily weather summary using McIDAS. I also use a number of laboratory exercises that require the students to create different McIDAS products.

General comments: Looking forward to the ideas of others re: using Unidata products in education. Would also like to hear from scientists using Unidata applications in climate research.
