The contributions in the volumes are written by practitioners as well as established university based researchers
It will provide scholars and professionals with a survey of the contemporary work in the field and with insights into remaining questions, methodological debates and new ways of thinking within the broader realm of resources and urban development

This book is based largely on the information provided at a Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate community workshop. The book describes the needs for end user communities, focusing in particular on needs that are not being met by current urban-level forecasting and monitoring. It also describes current and emerging meteorological forecasting and monitoring capabilities that have had and will likely have the most impact on urban areas, some of which are not being utilized by the relevant end user communities.

This book will play an important role in compensating for the limited number of resource books on urbanization. This book is intended to be a reference source for scientists and students interested in the subject.
