During 2007 Equipment Awards, consideration was given to proposals outlining plans to further the use of the Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) in education settings, including upgrades to existing classroom and laboratory equipment or procurement of new computers to run the IDV more efficiently.
Proposals submitted by investigators in new geoscience disciplines (e.g., hydrology and oceanography) and departments outside of those traditionally active in the Unidata community (e.g., meteorology) were encouraged. The primary purpose of this focus was to give the broader community access to Unidata tools and datasets that could be relevant to their teaching and research.
