This sub-network investigates climate variability in Brazilian urban areas, with a focus on urban heat islands, thermal comfort, air quality, and climate extremes. It examines the interactions between land surfaces, vegetation, and oceans with the atmosphere to understand their role in shaping local climate patterns.
To achieve this, the sub-network employs advanced climate modeling and downscaling techniques to project potential climate impacts in urban environments, enabling the development of adaptation strategies to address the challenges posed by climate variability. By addressing these issues, the sub-network aims to enhance overall urban resilience and contribute to the sustainable development of Brazilian cities.
