Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Meteorology
Global warming
Water vapor

His primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Stratosphere, Water vapor, Climatology and Tropopause. His Atmospheric sciences study focuses on Troposphere in particular. The various areas that Andrew E. Dessler examines in his Stratosphere study include Convection and Potential temperature.

His work in Water vapor addresses issues such as Relative humidity, which are connected to fields such as Microwave Limb Sounder. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Mixing ratio and Altitude. His work on Tropical tropopause as part of general Tropopause study is frequently connected to Advection, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His most cited work include:

Tropical tropopause layer (652 citations)
On the control of stratospheric humidity (192 citations)
A Model for Transport across the Tropical Tropopause. (163 citations)

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

His main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Water vapor, Stratosphere and Troposphere. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmosphere and Convection. His Climatology study incorporates themes from Cloud feedback, Climate model, Climate sensitivity, Global warming and Humidity.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Water vapor, Aerosol is strongly linked to Middle latitudes. His study looks at the relationship between Stratosphere and fields such as Atmospheric chemistry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Troposphere research includes elements of Radiative transfer and Microphysics.

He most often published in these fields:

Atmospheric sciences (63.31%)
Climatology (47.93%)
Water vapor (38.46%)

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

Atmospheric sciences (63.31%)
Climatology (47.93%)
Water vapor (38.46%)

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

Andrew E. Dessler mainly investigates Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Water vapor, Convection and Stratosphere. His Atmospheric sciences research is mostly focused on the topic Troposphere. The concepts of his Troposphere study are interwoven with issues in Cirrus and Cloud fraction.

His work deals with themes such as Global warming, Humidity and Climate model, Climate sensitivity, which intersect with Climatology. His studies in Water vapor integrate themes in fields like Latitude, Seasonal cycle and Tropical tropopause, Tropopause. His Convection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Evaporation and El Niño Southern Oscillation.

Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:

The relationship between interannual and long-term cloud feedbacks (51 citations)
Large anomalies in lower stratospheric water vapour and ice during the 2015–2016 El Niño (43 citations)
Transport of ice into the stratosphere and the humidification of the stratosphere over the 21st century. (29 citations)
