Through participation in the National Weather Center (NWC) REU program, 60 United States undergraduate students over a 5-year period will participate in a potentially life-changing research and career exploration experience. Participants experience the joy of scientific discovery while conducting cutting-edge research and learning skills to become scientists. Each student collaborates with one or more scientists in the weather, climate, and radar organizations within the University of Oklahoma-Norman's University Research Campus to conduct research and live the life of a scientist. Participants attend lectures, participate in workshops to build skills and knowledge relevant to the job, learn and practice a variety of research methods, and present their research in both written and oral formats. Past participants' research has advanced knowledge and understanding in basic and applied research. Additionally, in this site renewal the grant investigators will leverage ever-advancing innovations in education to incorporate additional skill-building of software development and data management practices at the undergraduate level on top of the comprehensive activity set. The research community in proximity to this REU Site enthusiastically supports this program, and this renewal will include new partners in the Radar Innovations Laboratory and South Central Climate Science Center, allowing the program to include 12 participants each year. The majority of participants will come from departments with little to no active STEM research. This REU will have broader impacts at the individual, local, university, state, national, and international level through the production of formal and professional conference publications each year while also producing or improving databases and tools useful beyond the individual research projects. Participants' research results may be used for National Weather Service training and emergency management operations. The goals of this REU site are to 1) recruit and select a diverse pool of competitive applicants from across the U.S., 2) show participants the nature of a research career through direct experience and interactions with scientists, peers, local graduate students, and REU staff, 3) build participants' self-efficacy in regard to their capability to conduct research, 4) expose participants to the variety of career options found in and near Norman, Oklahoma, 5) assist each participant with graduate school and career decisions and 6) track and network past participants. The learning objectives will move participants from a pedagogical (dependent) to andragogical (independent) role. The participants will read, discuss, and comprehend technical journal articles, build and use computer skills for research and presentation, lead their own research project (with guidance), learn and apply a variety of research methods to conduct quality research, learn about additional research methods through peer presentations, scientific lectures, workshops, learning contracts, and literature reviews, prepare a print-ready manuscript and abstract on their work, present their research in written and oral formats to both the NWC community and to the broader scientific community.

通过参加国家气象中心（NWC）REU计划，在5年期间，美国60名本科生将参加潜在的改变生活的研究和职业探索经验。参与者在进行尖端的研究和学习技能的同时，体验了科学发现的乐趣。每个学生都在俄克拉荷马州大学大学研究园区的天气，气候和雷达组织中与一位或多个科学家合作，以进行研究并过科学家的生活。参与者参加讲座，参加讲习班以建立与工作相关的技能和知识，学习和练习各种研究方法，并以书面和口头格式介绍他们的研究。过去的参与者的研究在基础和应用研究中具有高级知识和理解。 此外，在本网站更新中，赠款调查人员将利用教育中不断提高的创新，以在本科级别的综合活动集合中纳入软件开发和数据管理实践的其他技能。在此REU网站附近的研究社区热情地支持该计划，该续约将包括Radar Innovations实验室和中央气候科学中心的新合作伙伴，允许该计划每年包括12名参与者。大多数参与者将来自几乎没有积极研究的部门。该REU每年都会生产正式和专业会议出版物，同时生产或改进数据库和工具，对个人，本地，大学，州，国家和国际水平产生更大的影响，同时还可以生产或改进数据库和工具。参与者的研究结果可用于国家气象服务培训和应急管理运营。该REU网站的目标是1）招募并选择来自美国各地的各种竞争申请人，2）通过与科学家，同龄人，当地研究生和REU员工的直接经验和互动来向参与者展示研究职业的性质，3）3）与参与者的自我效能相关，使他们能够与参与者进行研究，并在各种职业中培养各种职业，4）4）职业决策和6）跟踪和网络过去的参与者。 学习目标将将参与者从教学（依赖）转移到雄激素（独立）角色。 参与者将阅读，讨论和理解技术期刊文章，建立和使用计算机技能进行研究和介绍，领导自己的研究项目（指导），学习和应用各种研究方法来进行质量研究，通过同行演讲，科学讲座，讲座，研讨会，学习合同和文献审查，准备和绘制他们的工作，并介绍他们的工作和摘要，并介绍他们的工作和摘要，并介绍他们的工作，并介绍他们的工作，并介绍他们的工作和摘要，并介绍他们的工作和摘要。更广泛的科学界。
