Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Oceanography, Brazil–Malvinas Confluence, Climatology, Water mass and Continental shelf. His work deals with themes such as Ocean color and Latitude, which intersect with Oceanography. In his study, Surface water and North Atlantic Deep Water is strongly linked to Polar front, which falls under the umbrella field of Brazil–Malvinas Confluence.

His research integrates issues of Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer and Eddy in his study of Climatology. His Water mass study incorporates themes from Thermocline, Subantarctic Mode Water, Antarctic Intermediate Water and Circumpolar deep water. His Continental shelf research includes themes of Estuary and Stratification.

His most cited work include:

  • Subtropical shelf front off eastern south america (307 citations)
  • A review of global ocean temperature observations: Implications for ocean heat content estimates and climate change (241 citations)
  • The influence of the Plata River discharge on the western South Atlantic shelf (216 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Climatology, Continental shelf, Hydrography and Water mass. His work in Thermohaline circulation, Ocean current, Boundary current, Brazil–Malvinas Confluence and Climate change is related to Oceanography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Current and Latitude in addition to Climatology.

His study in Continental shelf is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wind stress, Stratification, Water column, Plume and Upwelling. His Wind stress study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Submarine pipeline and Outflow. Alberto R. Piola works mostly in the field of Water mass, limiting it down to concerns involving Antarctic Intermediate Water and, occasionally, Contourite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (68.97%)
  • Climatology (27.01%)
  • Continental shelf (21.84%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Oceanography (68.97%)
  • Water mass (16.67%)
  • Thermohaline circulation (15.52%)

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

Alberto R. Piola focuses on Oceanography, Water mass, Thermohaline circulation, Ocean current and Climate change. His Abyssal zone, Continental shelf, Mesoscale meteorology, Physical oceanography and Pelagic zone investigations are all subjects of Oceanography research. His Continental shelf research incorporates elements of In situ and Deep sea.

His Water mass study combines topics in areas such as Hydrography, Low salinity, Circumpolar deep water and Coral. His work carried out in the field of Hydrography brings together such families of science as Channel, Pacific ocean and Brazil–Malvinas Confluence. Thermohaline circulation is a subfield of Climatology that Alberto R. Piola investigates.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Meridional Overturning Circulation Transport Variability at 34.5°S During 2009–2017: Baroclinic and Barotropic Flows and the Dueling Influence of the Boundaries (23 citations)
  • Global perspectives on observing ocean boundary current systems (18 citations)
  • Physical Oceanography of the SW Atlantic Shelf: A Review (15 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Climate change
  • Ecology

His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Water mass, Climate change, Thermohaline circulation and Effects of global warming on oceans. His studies link Recreation with Oceanography. Alberto R. Piola has researched Water mass in several fields, including Hydrography and Ocean current, Boundary current.

His Thermohaline circulation study is associated with Climatology. His Effects of global warming on oceans research incorporates themes from Effects of global warming, Fishery and Global wind patterns. His studies in Ecosystem integrate themes in fields like Atmospheric circulation and Front.
