Senior undergraduate Matt Corbi prepares a
convective outlook using NMAP2
In the spring of 2010, the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences
(DAES) at the University at Albany, State University of New York received funds
from Unidata's annual Community Equipment Awards program to renovate the
department's electronic map room. As a result, during the summer of 2010 our
department purchased eight Dell Optiplex 780 desktop computers with dual-quad
core CPUs (thus eight CPUs are available per unit) and eight GB of RAM. The machines were received too late in the
summer to be ready for the fall semester, but were in place for the start of
the second semester in January, 2011.
Seven of the systems sit in the DAES electronic maproom, while the
eighth resides in the Principal Investigator's office, for use as a development
machine as well as an emergency hot spare.
