James E. Tillman http://www.atmos.washington.edu/~mars/ Rationale Mathematics, science and logical thought processes are the foundation of engineering, science and technology. A thorough understanding of their fundamentals and interrelationships is essential if a nation is to improve, or even maintain its position in today's globally competitive environment. Without this understanding, there is little potential for both an informed government, capable of offering reasonable legislative choices, and an educated electorate, capable of understanding the choices and making the wise decisions necessary to ensure a productive and secure future. ( J. E. Tillman ) Live from Earth and Mars Science, Technology, Education Partnerships LFEM - STEP The primary goal of this program is to bring young students into current and future Mars missions, stimulating their quest for knowledge and helping educators develop the students scientific literacy necessary to produce a safe, secure and prosperous human climate, whether on Earth or Mars . It includes collaboratively installing research quality weather stations at schools, and the development of an education module, "Temperature of Earth and Mars", TEM. The students use the same type temperature sensors as the Viking and Pathfinder mission especially constructed for this program and explore the sensor properties and the environment surrounding their school.

7. Collaborative Science Research (CSTAR) program has been established by the Office of meteorology to bringthe current variety of NWSsupported collaborative activities with the http://cstar.cestm.albany.edu/definition.htm

Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research Program (CSTAR) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has had a long history of entering into cooperative activities with colleges and universities. As the Modernization and Associated Restructuring (MAR) of the National Weather Service (NWS) progresses, the number and types of interactions have been growing steadily. As a result, the Collaborative Science, Technology, and Applied Research (CSTAR) program has been established by the Office of Meteorology to bring the current variety of NWS-supported collaborative activities with the academic community into a structured program and to create a cost-effective transition from basic and applied research to operations and services. This service-science linkage provides a foundation for the ongoing modernization of the NWS. The benefits derived from collaborative research activities initiated in CSTAR are numerous. NWS and university resources are leveraged, which will accelerate application of new science to operational forecasting. Collaborative research enables mutual sharing of information and data that may have been previously unavailable. Numerous opportunities for diverse partnerships are created, and these opportunities contribute to the scientific education of current and future workforce. All CSTAR efforts are geared toward enhancing scientific interactions leading to a transfer of improved scientific understanding and technological advancements into the total forecast system. These efforts support the United States Weather Research Program's (USWRP's) goal of advancing weather observing capabilities and fundamental understanding of weather and using this understanding to improve numerical weather prediction and enhance weather services provided to the Nation. In close association with the USWRP, the NWS has established a set of science priorities in support of the Advance Short-Term Forecast and Warning Services element of the NOAA Strategic Plan around which research in the CSTAR program is currently focused. These NWS Science Priorities are as follows:

Southern Region Aviation Meteorology Operation Pathfinder: "Precision Approach" - An Initiative to Develop and Test an Accurate and Efficient Aviation Forecast System Leaders: Tom Hicks (ZFW) and Steve.Amburn (TSA) Description: This is one of the most ambitious, yet vital, initiatives to the aviation program enhancement effort. In the very near future, changing customer requirements (e.g, anticipated Traffic Management Unit Requirements Document) will make it necessary for both automation and collaboration among all organizational elements (the AWC, CWSUs, WFOs, and the Spaceflight Meteorology Group [SMG]) to play key roles in producing what can be termed "ramp-to-ramp" aviation weather forecasts: ramp-to-terminal-to-departure zone-to-center airspace-to-approach zone-to-terminal-to-ramp. The result of the automation and collaboration process will be to generate forecasts that are consistent, accurate, timely, and tailored to the specific needs of the various aviation customers. While automation will be critical to the success of this effort, it will not eliminate the need for the aviation forecaster. Indeed his/her role may become more important, but likely will need to be redefined. A typical forecast scenario of the future might proceed as follows: A resolute national grid of "aviation impact variables" is produced through automation and made available for forecaster review.

19. Forecasting Lab Activities Lab activities. In a collaborative effort with the NC State Department of ofsciencecoupled model forecasting techniques, linking meteorology, emissions, air http://www4.ncsu.edu:8030/~gary/forecastlab/activities.html

Lab Activities Research Recent projects of the Forecasting Lab include: CSTAR NSF TURF SECMEP , and METEOSET Collaborative Science, Technology and Applied Research Program (CSTAR) A longstanding tradition of successful collaboration exists between the Raleigh NWS Forecast Office and NCSU. In 1999, the NWS-NCSU collaboration was taken to a new level with the funding of a NOAA CSTAR proposal- this project involves NCSU and 5 regional NWS offices, including Wilmington, Newport, and Raleigh NC, Wakefield, VA, and Greer, SC. Input from operational forecasters at these five offices allowed the CSTAR group to identify challenges that were common to all regional forecasters. The phenomenon of cold-air damming, and the coastal front, were identified, and are the focus of current CSTAR research. Currently, three graduate students and one undergraduate researcher are working with Drs. Riordan, Xie, and Lackmann on this project, with ongoing interaction at each of the five participating NWS offices. The objectives of the CSTAR Project are to: Strengthen conceptual models of Cold-Air Damming (CAD) and the Coastal Front (CF) through extended climatologies, and especially improving understanding of process-interactions during CAD and CF events. Examples include interactions of migratory frontal structures and cyclonic systems with CAD and CF events.

Students will make predictions and forecasts of weather. Using a variety of multi-media applications, the students will demonstrate their understanding how storms are formed from the elements of weather. Student activities: Students will create a Hyperstudio stack or web page explaining the four elements of weather. Students will retrieve, compile, graph and analyze local weather data from instruments. Students forecast weather and show how the elements of weather (wind, air pressure, temperature, and moisture) interact to cause storms. Students will create a video taped weather broadcast using multimedia presentation tools. Students will use the scientific process to investigate a self-generated questions about weather folklore and common expressions. Student/teacher collaboration: This project began as a collaboration between a middle school science teacher and a high school special education teacher.
