Research summary

Sue Grimmond studies how cities affect the atmosphere, including urban heat, airflow, and the exchange of heat, energy, and gases between built environments and the air above them. Her work combines field measurements (such as street-level weather station networks and heat-flux observations) with computer models of urban weather and human-generated heat across cities worldwide, from London and Bristol to Baltimore, Colombo, and Berlin. This research supports understanding of urban climate, air quality, and city-scale weather forecasting.
