Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • World War II
  • Meteorology

Alan Robock focuses on Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Climate model, Climate change and Water content. He interconnects Latitude, Albedo, Precipitation, Snow and Data assimilation in the investigation of issues within Climatology. His Precipitation research focuses on Water cycle and how it connects with Land cover.

Alan Robock has included themes like Volcano, Volcanic winter, Vulcanian eruption and Radiative forcing in his Atmospheric sciences study. His studies in Climate model integrate themes in fields like Sea ice, Meteorology, Downscaling, Position and Greenhouse gas. His studies deal with areas such as Soil classification, Surface runoff and Infiltration as well as Water content.

His most cited work include:

  • Volcanic eruptions and climate (1580 citations)
  • The multi‐institution North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS): Utilizing multiple GCIP products and partners in a continental distributed hydrological modeling system (916 citations)
  • The Global Soil Moisture Data Bank (639 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Alan Robock mainly investigates Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Climate model, Volcano and Climate change. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Global warming and Precipitation. Alan Robock mostly deals with Stratosphere in his studies of Atmospheric sciences.

His Climate model study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Monsoon, Meteorology, Polar vortex and Greenhouse gas. His Volcano research includes elements of Ice core, Earth science and Sulfate aerosol. His Climate change study frequently links to other fields, such as Nuclear winter.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (43.34%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (30.47%)
  • Climate model (21.90%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Climatology (43.34%)
  • Geoengineering (12.87%)
  • Volcano (19.64%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Alan Robock spends much of his time researching Climatology, Geoengineering, Volcano, Atmospheric sciences and Climate model. He specializes in Climatology, namely Northern Hemisphere. His research integrates issues of Stratosphere, Sulfate aerosol, Earth science and Explosive material in his study of Volcano.

Alan Robock combines subjects such as Global warming and Aerosol with his study of Atmospheric sciences. Alan Robock has researched Climate model in several fields, including Monsoon, Polar vortex, Precipitation and Water cycle. In general Climate change study, his work on Solar radiation management often relates to the realm of Offset, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Model Intercomparison Project on the climatic response to Volcanic forcing (VolMIP) : experimental design and forcing input data for CMIP6 (81 citations)
  • The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (GeoMIP6): simulation design and preliminary results (70 citations)
  • Tropical explosive volcanic eruptions can trigger El Niño by cooling tropical Africa. (64 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Climate change
  • World War II
  • Global warming

His main research concerns Climatology, Climate model, Atmospheric sciences, Volcano and Stratosphere. His Climatology research incorporates elements of Atmosphere, Climate change and Ice sheet. His research in Climate model intersects with topics in Monsoon, Polar vortex and Precipitation.

His work deals with themes such as Global warming, Aerosol, Ozone and Geoengineering, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences. His Volcano research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Northern Hemisphere, Earth science and Sulfate aerosol. His Stratosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Primary production, Smoke and Global climate.
