Investigating the roles and interactions between extreme weather and climate with urban environments. The TE(x)US LΔB is particularly interested in understanding these interactions and how to prepare for a weather extremes ranging from heat, heavy rains to hurricanes with focus on cities. Using satellite data products, and multiscale weather and climate models, the goal is to have detailed characterization and improved predictions of the urban weather and climate. The TE(x)US lab is also actively engaged on issues related to cal/val studies especially for soil moisture, land – atmosphere interactions, and missions focused on land state mapping to assist with climate mitigation and adaptation. There are many active collaborations globally and most active ones with the Indian monsoon research group and a dedicated, pioneering partnership for city-climate data and decision-making with the City of Austin as part of UT-City Climate CoLab to bridge the gap between data, policy making, community engagement, and weather/climate science.
