C. S. B. Grimmond mainly investigates Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Flux, Water balance and Surface runoff. His Meteorology study incorporates themes from Urban climate and Eddy covariance. His work carried out in the field of Urban climate brings together such families of science as Urban density, Latent heat and Energy balance.

His study in Atmospheric sciences is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Land cover, Lidar, Isotope analysis and Atmospheric methane. His studies deal with areas such as Urban morphology and Heat flux as well as Land cover. His Water balance study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Climatology and Temporal resolution.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Urban Multi-scale Environmental Predictor (UMEP) (76 citations)
  • From urban meteorology, climate and environment research to integrated city services (65 citations)
  • Impact of urban canopy models and external parameters on the modelled urban energy balance in a tropical city (40 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Optics

His primary areas of study are Meteorology, Urban climate, Energy consumption, Wind speed and Atmospheric sciences. The study incorporates disciplines such as Transport network and Sustainable development in addition to Meteorology. His Energy consumption research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Spatial ecology, Solar irradiance and Forecast skill.

His Wind speed study incorporates themes from Wind power, Aerodynamics and Fetch. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Outgoing longwave radiation, Impervious surface, Doppler effect, Lidar and Radiative transfer. His Urban heat island research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Latent heat, Haze and Energy balance.
