N1 - Funding Information: This study was supported by funding from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (project ALW-GO/14-29), the National Natural Science Foundation of China (grants 41405079 and 41530529), and the Key Research Program of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (grant KZZD-EW-13). The global WRF geographic input data sets were obtained from WRF Users Page. The meteorological inputs were developed by Data Assimilation and Modeling Center for Tibetan Multi-spheres in Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research. The China Soil Database was developed by Land-Atmosphere Interaction Research Group in Beijing Normal University. The measurements used in this study were provided by Jun Wen ([email protected]) in CAREERI/CAS. The authors would like to thank three anonymous reviewers for their constructive comments.

N2 - The conference theme - "Leveraging Computing to Change Education" - focuses on the influence of computing on the way we educate at all levels. In this paper we highlight the conference theme from the perspective of computer science (CS) teacher preparation and describe the Views program, launched at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, two year ago. Views invites Technion graduates back to the Technion to study toward an additional bachelor's degree in the Department of Education in Science and Technology. The degree they earn includes a high school teaching certificate in one of eight tracks: math, physics, biology, chemistry, CS, environmental sciences, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Views students receive full study scholarships and are not required to commit to work in the education system after graduation. In the paper, we (a) present the Views program; (b) analyze factors that motivate and demotivate CS graduates to enroll in the program; (c) describe the characteristics of students in the program and their contribution to the learning environments and (d) address hopes with respect to the expected future impact of the Views program on the education system in Israel in general and on CS education in particular.
