What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Meteorology
- Climatology
Alan J. Wallcraft focuses on Ocean current, Climatology, Meteorology, Mesoscale meteorology and Internal tide.
His Ocean current study combines topics in areas such as Altimeter, Sea surface temperature, Sea-surface height, Circulation and Waves and shallow water.
His Sea surface temperature research incorporates themes from Monsoon of South Asia and Thermohaline circulation.
He has researched Climatology in several fields, including Sea level and Eddy.
His work on Data assimilation is typically connected to Oceanic basin and Scale as part of general Meteorology study, connecting several disciplines of science.
Alan J. Wallcraft works mostly in the field of Internal tide, limiting it down to topics relating to Barotropic fluid and, in certain cases, Stratification, Geodesy, Wave drag, Drag and Tide gauge.
His most cited work include:
- The HYCOM (HYbrid Coordinate Ocean Model) data assimilative system (539 citations)
- US GODAE: Global Ocean Prediction with the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) (282 citations)
- Decade-scale trans-Pacific propagation and warming effects of an El Niño anomaly (204 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan J. Wallcraft mostly deals with Climatology, Meteorology, Ocean current, Sea surface temperature and Data assimilation.
His Climatology research includes themes of Buoy and Weather forecasting.
He focuses mostly in the field of Meteorology, narrowing it down to matters related to Waves and shallow water and, in some cases, Salinity.
His Ocean current research incorporates elements of Current, Geostrophic wind and Mesoscale meteorology.
His work investigates the relationship between Sea surface temperature and topics such as Atmospheric model that intersect with problems in Vertical orientation.
Alan J. Wallcraft has included themes like Deep sea, Ocean modeling, Hindcast and Nowcasting in his Data assimilation study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (59.43%)
- Meteorology (41.51%)
- Ocean current (32.08%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2020)?
- Climatology (59.43%)
- Meteorology (41.51%)
- Barotropic fluid (7.55%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Climatology, Meteorology, Barotropic fluid, Internal tide and Dissipation.
His work in the fields of Cryosphere overlaps with other areas such as Hybrid system.
With his scientific publications, his incorporates both Meteorology and Context.
His Barotropic fluid study incorporates themes from Turbulence, Eddy, Ocean circulation model and Ocean dynamics.
As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Internal tide, focusing on Atmospheric sciences and, on occasion, Baroclinity and Tropical instability waves.
His work on Drag coefficient as part of general Drag study is frequently connected to Ocean general circulation model, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- The Earth System Prediction Suite: Toward a Coordinated U.S. Modeling Capability (33 citations)
- Short‐term sea ice forecasting: An assessment of ice concentration and ice drift forecasts using the U.S. Navy's Arctic Cap Nowcast/Forecast System (30 citations)
- Semidiurnal internal tide incoherence in the equatorial Pacific (25 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Meteorology
- Climatology
His primary areas of study are Internal tide, Climatology, Cryosphere, Sea ice concentration and Arctic ice pack.
His Internal tide research integrates issues from Continuum Modeling, Geophysics and Geodesy.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Meteorology and Arctic.
His work in the fields of Cryosphere, such as Antarctic sea ice and Arctic sea ice decline, intersects with other areas such as SSMIS.
