Stephan Weber (University of Braunschweig): “The urban body affects the local atmosphere in many ways”

interviewed by Paule Hainz, Lena Hilf, Lukas Schmitt, and Cecilia Lange

 

“In a city of 250.000 residents like Braunschweig, many have a similar daily routine, like commuting to work in the morning. This produces clear patterns and processes such as peaks in pollutants during the morning rush-hours. But we also end up doing many different things, which in turn creates a lot of variability that has to be taken into account. That's what's so exciting about urban climatology.”
