ITHACA â Partnering with community organizations, Cornell University researchers are developing and planning a hyperlocal weather forecasting system designed to improve winter-storm emergency response and enhance natural disaster coordination for New York stateâs rural communities.
Max Zhang, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, will lead the federally funded effort that will begin this spring.
The work is part of the new Civic Innovation Challenge, an $11 million effort led by the National Science Foundation in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The four-month challenge seeks to empower communities to achieve necessary local weather and disaster solutions, so that one day such plans may be scaled up regionally or nationally.
