Purpose:
Non-technical Journals
A variety of journals focus on weather that are not particularly technical in terms of their presentation. That does not mean that the information content is necessarily low; rather the intended audience falls asleep when equations are presented. Some of the journals include Weather , Weatherwise , National Weather Digest , and a bunch of others that are available in the Marriott Library.
This assignment is simple. Go to the Marriott Library and find one of these journals. Find an article related to new methods of computational science applied to the atmospheric sciences, e.g., the use of computers in the classroom, lab, etc., or on a subject of interest to you in the field of the atmospheric sciences. The article should be more than a few pages in length.
Write a short (few paragraph) summary of the article. Be sure to include the journal issue and authors. Send your summary by e-mail to jhorel@atmos.met.utah.edu.
To create your web page, copy into your home directory the file /web/dept/department/homepages/undergrad/juniors/mmasarik/mmasarik.html. This is the html code for Matt Masarik's web page. Rename the file to your own name. Using the text editor vi, modify this file to create an appropriate web page for yourself. (You can view the source of any web page by selecting Document Source under the View menu.) To test your web page, type netscape followed by the name of your html document (like this, netscape name.html &). The & signifies non-interactive mode. When you have finished, email support@met.utah.edu the name and path of your html file and it will be placed in the undergraduate page.
