Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL), France
Simone Kotthaus is a researcher at Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL). Her research focuses on the dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer as a link between the heterogeneous urban environment and synoptic-scale weather conditions. Her work on novel measurement techniques and retrieval methods continues to result in advanced observational data products that she exploits for her research and teaching activities. Simone received her PhD in Micrometeorology from King’s College London in 2014 and has since been studying urban settings of various complexities as a researcher at the University of Reading, Tokyo Institute of Technology and IPSL. She is Associate Editor of the Meteorological Applications journal of the Royal Meteorological Society and currently serves as elected board member of the International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC).
