While only a small fraction of the Earth’s total land cover, the majority of the world population resides in cities. Urbanization is critical to the social, political, and economic vibrancy of society, but it also has significant impacts on the environment. NASA-related satellite, modeling, and scientific resources have enabled a systems perspective on the Earth’s water cycle, climate, weather, interior and biogeochemical cycles. A particular advancement has been the advancement of knowledge on the complex interactions and pathways by which urbanization interacts with hydrometeorological processes. Herein, a synopsis of the most significant perspectives gained from urban studies funded under the auspices of the Precipitation Measurement Missions program is presented.
