What is urgently needed is not just more computing power, but better science. 

The HKUST initiative pioneers a new approach: rebuilding model physics to address tropical convection, land-sea interactions, and urban-atmosphere feedbacks.

Our Vision: Building the Next-Generation Tropical Urban Weather and Climate Prediction System


We envision a future where cities across the tropics are equipped with the scientific tools and predictive systems they need to prepare for, adapt to, and thrive amidst accelerating climate risks. Our goal is to build the next-generation Tropical Urban Weather and Climate Prediction System—a modeling and decision-support platform that is physically accurate, operationally usable, and globally connected.
