Purdue and Kusaka group -- work on studying past heat waves for Qatar (observational and WRF modeling)

UK Part needs to come in!

Future climate?

Yang, Long, Dev Niyogi, Mukul Tewari, Daniel Aliaga, Fei Chen, Fuqiang Tian, and Guangheng Ni. "Contrasting impacts of urban forms on the future thermal environment: example of Beijing metropolitan area." Environmental Research Letters11, no. 3 (2016): 034018.

What regions are vulnerable and how can local efforts help reduce need for medical intervention?

how can greening infrastructure improve heat stress reduction?

How can remote sensing help improve urban heat wave mapping and prediction

Past studies cases

FOCUS on URBAN HEAT WAVE as the Overarching Theme

Prior studies highlighting this need for Qatar

Overarching THEME

Stakeholder Inspired DR3 Framework

End goal could be a synthesis and demonstration of how to integrate regionally useful and usable DR3 tools.

Each country could develop specific examples/tools
Share what we have with each other in Year 2 and improve on what we have for that region (e.g. urban model from Tokyo for urban flooding over US; or findings about user needs from UK in testing the model performance beyond the traditional metric of rainfall output)
in Year 2 leaning to year 3 we develop synthesis for implementation and tests with Qatar (so end goal will be demonstration and implementation in Qatar but elements of developments will be achieved in each country specifically building on the specific strengths). This would mean we need to have a common goal e.g. Urban Heat Stress
