CREST’ In addition to enhancing city and regional near-term weather forecasts and storm prediction, the uWRF represents a valuable tool to understand the larger implications of the interrelated natural-human system. The effort is a collaboration between the following organizations; CUNY Remote Sensing Earth System (CREST) Institute. CREST Institute is as an internationally recognized research and educational collaborative for advancing Earth System Science and Engineering through State-of-the- Surface temperature distribution (left) and differences between modeling and observation (right) at 1500 LST July 6th during the heat wave event that took place July 5th-7th, 2010 in NYC Metro Area. The small errors between model and observations in mid and downtown areas represent a significant improvement over existing modeling capabilities. End
