Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Hydrology

Meteorology, Energy balance, Latent heat, Atmospheric sciences and Planetary boundary layer are his primary areas of study. His Meteorology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Land cover, Local scale and Eddy covariance. He has included themes like Climatology, Vegetation and Thermal energy storage in his Energy balance study.

His Latent heat research includes themes of Hydrology and Sensible heat. The Sensible heat study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere and Heat transfer. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates elements of Sky and Heat flux.

His most cited work include:

  • Aerodynamic Properties of Urban Areas Derived from Analysis of Surface Form (799 citations)
  • The Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES), model description – Part 1: Energy and water fluxes (717 citations)
  • The integrated WRF/urban modelling system: development, evaluation, and applications to urban environmental problems (620 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Sensible heat, Latent heat and Eddy covariance. His study in the field of Planetary boundary layer also crosses realms of Flux. His work in the fields of Daytime overlaps with other areas such as Flux.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Soil water, Radiative transfer and Surface in addition to Sensible heat. C. S. B. Grimmond combines subjects such as Humidity, Turbulence, Evapotranspiration and Vegetation with his study of Latent heat.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

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.
