McIDAS in the Classroom: Tales of a Wayward McIDAS Site Coordinator Matthew A. Lazzara, PhD Amy A. Limberg-Dzekute Department of Physical Sciences School of Arts and Sciences Madison Area Technical College Madison, WI

Outline  Introduction  McIDAS in the classroom  From the IPP to Routine use  Real time display  Community outreach  Issues and challenges  McIDAS  Non-McIDAS  Future McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Introduction  Background about Madison College (aka MATC)  ~40,000 students  9 campus locations  12 county district  graduates per year  Prior to August 2014:  Adjunct Faculty at MATC  Full time UW Associate Scientist  Post August 2014:  Full time Faculty  Part time UW Associate Scientist McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

From MATC IPP to Routine use: McIDAS in the classroom  2010: Madison Area Technical College Interactive (MATC) Processing Project (IPP) (See MUG Meeting 2010 presentation)  Unidata Equipment grant for:  Servers (ADDE and LDM)  Instructor and to seed student use (McIDAS-X & some McIDAS-V)  Displays (McIDAS-X)  Rollout of classroom laptops (60+) (McIDAS-X)  Applications:  Student Real-time Weather Scavenger Hunts  Satellite Meteorology:  e.g. Clouds top vs. Clear sky compared with Surface observations  Precipitation/radar  Paperless Weather Forecasting McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Real time display  Display in the classroom laptops: McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Community Outreach McIDAS Users' Group Meeting  MidWest Severe Storms Tracking/Response Center  Satellite support:  McIDAS-V  Via ADDE  Mini Severe Weather Seminar: Dark Skies  Science Olympiad  Hamilton Middle School

Issues and Challenges  Limited IT support  Nearly no Unix/Linux on campus  Primarily Windows  Mac/Apple nearly exclusively used in Art Department and Physical Sciences Department  Wireless Networking issues with a mobile classroom  (Minor issue: Wired network connection stability for servers)  Computer “Image” - rollout and stability  OS support level mismatch  Restrictions on administrative access (security concerns) to "fix" issues as they are noticed – remotely or even in house. Must rely on IT to fix and if lab that day, may be facing a time crunch.  Lack of computer refresh. McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Issues and Challenges  McIDAS related issues:  Reliance on Unidata community ADDE servers  AIREPs/PIREPs  Missing sectors  GFSMOS  SFCPLOT  Station model: clouds  WWDISP/WWLIST  Have more watch/warnings  McIDAS-V/IDV adoption  LDM and ADDE expansion McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Future  Support future course development  Individual student research  Honors program  Possibility of additional grant work involving students analyzing the data  McIDAS will be one of the tools in the tool box!  New equipment  Servers  Tablet environment? McIDAS Users' Group Meeting

Thank you! Questions? Thank you to the Unidata, the Unidata community, UW- AOS, the McIDAS User Services Group, SSEC Data Center, and Madison College! Dr. Matthew A.
