Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Tropical cyclone

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental science, Microphysics, Cloud physics, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His study connects Mesoscale meteorology and Microphysics. The study incorporates disciplines such as Convection, Liquid water content and Computer simulation in addition to Cloud physics.

His study looks at the relationship between Meteorology and topics such as Bin, which overlap with Atmospheric models. His Atmospheric sciences study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Precipitation. Alexander Khain interconnects Wind shear, Atmosphere and Buoyancy in the investigation of issues within Aerosol.

His most cited work include:

  • Aerosol impact on the dynamics and microphysics of deep convective clouds (442 citations)
  • Microphysics, Radiation and Surface Processes in the Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) Model (283 citations)
  • Notes on the state-of-the-art numerical modeling of cloud microphysics (282 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental science, Atmospheric sciences, Microphysics, Meteorology and Bin. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Graupel, Snow, Convection, Wind shear and Aerosol. The Aerosol study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere and Cloud base.

His research on Microphysics also deals with topics like

  • Liquid water content, which have a strong connection to Supersaturation,
  • Ice crystals and related Snowflake and Ice nucleus. His Meteorology study incorporates themes from Computer simulation and Cloud physics. Alexander Khain studied Bin and Computational physics that intersect with Drop.

  • Microphysics (37.50%)

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

  • Environmental science (52.94%)
  • Microphysics (37.50%)
  • Convection (22.79%)

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

Environmental science, Microphysics, Convection, Mixing and Bin are his primary areas of study. His Environmental science study overlaps with Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Weather Research and Forecasting Model, Aerosol and Precipitation. His study on Microphysics is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Cloud condensation nuclei.

His work carried out in the field of Convection brings together such families of science as Computational physics and Cloud microphysics. His Mixing study also includes fields such as

  • Mechanics which is related to area like Stage,
  • Adiabatic process together with Cloud physics. His Bin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Snow, Drop, Remote sensing and Numerical weather prediction.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Cloud‐Resolving Model Intercomparison of an MC3E Squall Line Case: Part II. Stratiform Precipitation Properties (15 citations)
  • Parameterization of Vertical Profiles of Governing Microphysical Parameters of Shallow Cumulus Cloud Ensembles Using LES with Bin Microphysics (10 citations)
  • Theoretical Analysis of the Entrainment–Mixing Process at Cloud Boundaries. Part I: Droplet Size Distributions and Humidity within the Interface Zone (10 citations)
