Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oceanography
  • Carbon dioxide

Andrew J. Watson mainly focuses on Oceanography, Atmospheric sciences, Phytoplankton, Meteorology and Carbon cycle. His Oceanography study combines topics in areas such as Carbon sequestration, Biogeochemical cycle, Latitude and Iron fertilization. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Carbon sequestration, concentrating on Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere and frequently concerns with Sink.

His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Pycnocline, Thermal diffusivity and Terrestrial planet. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Phytoplankton, Climate change is strongly linked to Plankton. His research integrates issues of TRACER, Surface ocean and Database in his study of Meteorology.

His most cited work include:

  • Climatological mean and decadal change in surface ocean pCO2, and net sea–air CO2 flux over the global oceans (1338 citations)
  • A mesoscale phytoplankton bloom in the polar Southern Ocean stimulated by iron fertilization (1273 citations)
  • Testing the iron hypothesis in ecosystems of the equatorial Pacific Ocean (1105 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Carbon dioxide, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology and Carbon. The study incorporates disciplines such as Phytoplankton and Ocean gyre in addition to Oceanography. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sink and Carbon cycle.

Andrew J. Watson has researched Atmospheric sciences in several fields, including TRACER and Atmosphere. His Climatology research incorporates themes from Glacial period and Surface ocean. His Carbon research includes elements of Environmental chemistry and Nitrogen.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (40.56%)
  • Carbon dioxide (14.80%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (15.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Oceanography (40.56%)
  • Carbon dioxide (14.80%)
  • Physical oceanography (6.63%)

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

Andrew J. Watson mainly investigates Oceanography, Carbon dioxide, Physical oceanography, Atmospheric sciences and Cruise. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Total inorganic carbon and Ocean gyre. The Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Isopycnal, Sensitivity, Global warming, Thermal diffusivity and Carbon cycle.

Andrew J. Watson interconnects Climate model, Biosphere and Earth science in the investigation of issues within Carbon cycle. His Carbon sink research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Surface ocean, Oceanic carbon cycle, Climatology and Ocean acidification. His work deals with themes such as Hydrography, Carbon, Ocean current and Biogeochemical cycle, which intersect with Thermohaline circulation.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Carbon Budget 2017 (564 citations)
  • A multi-decade record of high-quality fCO2 data in version 3 of the Surface Ocean CO2 Atlas (SOCAT) (195 citations)
  • Global Carbon Budget 2017 (in open review for Earth System Science Data). doi: 10.5194/essd-2017-123 (137 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oceanography
  • Carbon dioxide

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Carbon cycle and Surface ocean. His Oceanography study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Mixing. The various areas that he examines in his Atmospheric sciences study include Isopycnal and Carbon dioxide, Co2 flux.

Andrew J. Watson combines subjects such as Carbon sink and Earth system science with his study of Meteorology. His Carbon cycle research focuses on Atmosphere and how it relates to Earth science, Seafloor spreading, Silicate, Biogeochemistry and Anoxic waters. His Surface ocean study also includes

  • Data products, which have a strong connection to Climatology, Set and Data processing,
  • Database, which have a strong connection to Documentation and Cruise.
