Research: Meteorology
Between March 2009 and January 2010, I researched wind flow and dispersion in urban areas. This research was for the Boundary Layer Meteorology group, which is in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. This research was funded by the University of Reading Research Endowment Trust Fund.
