Format
During the event, the students receive new data sets from satellites every 5 minutes to help them track these storms. Your team will analyze the data as it is collected by various weather stations and air flights and predict not only the immediate forecast, but more long-range forecasts for potential flooding from storm surges. Under extreme weather conditions students may have to recommend evacuation of threatened areas to save lives and get people to safety.
Objectives
Students will provide accurate analysis of the weather situation for multiple storms in Hurricane Alley. They forecast where these storms may hit, calculate the ETA (Estimated Times of Arrival) and issue evacuation orders or recommendations as needed throughout the mission.
