A consortium of US universities and businesses on Wednesday unveiled a five-year, US$40 million research project to develop a system that uses small, short-range radar devices to dramatically improve forecasting of storms, tornados, flash floods and other weather events.

Led by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, the Engineering Research Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) will work to find ways to improve today's weather radar systems, said Jim Kurose, a professor of computer science at the school.
