Weather and climate in cities:
Cities strongly affect local meteorology, and are also where the majority of the world's population now live. These applications have driven a huge interest in identifying and quantifying the physical processes that drive the urban atmospheric boundary layer. In this lecture I shall present observations and theory that identify the key mechanisms, and then describe how cities are represented in contemporary weather and climate models.
