Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Climatology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Baroclinity, Potential vorticity and Troposphere. Brian J. Hoskins focuses mostly in the field of Climatology, narrowing it down to matters related to Storm track and, in some cases, Eddy. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Hadley cell, Sea surface temperature and Climate model.

His research on Baroclinity also deals with topics like

  • Classical mechanics which is related to area like Mechanics and Amplitude,
  • Jet most often made with reference to Barotropic fluid. His work carried out in the field of Potential vorticity brings together such families of science as Breaking wave, Potential temperature, Isentropic analysis and Tropopause. The concepts of his Troposphere study are interwoven with issues in Stratosphere, Extratropical cyclone and Southern Hemisphere.

His most cited work include:

  • The ERA‐40 re‐analysis (6051 citations)
  • On the use and significance of isentropic potential vorticity maps (2239 citations)
  • The Steady Linear Response of a Spherical Atmosphere to Thermal and Orographic Forcing (1841 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Baroclinity, Meteorology and Rossby wave. His work in Climatology tackles topics such as Storm which are related to areas like Extratropical cyclone. His research in Atmospheric sciences intersects with topics in Atmosphere and Convection.

His Baroclinity research includes themes of Amplitude, Potential vorticity, Classical mechanics and Barotropic fluid. His Potential vorticity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Potential temperature and Tropopause. His Rossby wave research focuses on Geophysics and how it connects with Kelvin wave.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (62.42%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (34.39%)
  • Baroclinity (20.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Climatology (62.42%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (34.39%)
  • Atmospheric circulation (14.33%)

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

Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Atmospheric circulation, Rossby wave and Meteorology are his primary areas of study. His biological study focuses on Northern Hemisphere. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Atmosphere and Arctic.

His Atmospheric circulation study combines topics in areas such as Forcing and Grid operator. His Rossby wave research includes elements of Zonal flow, Equatorial waves, Weather forecasting, Vorticity and Baroclinity. In general Meteorology study, his work on Altitude and Potential vorticity often relates to the realm of High pressure and Range, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate change and management (164 citations)
  • Winter and Summer Northern Hemisphere Blocking in CMIP5 Models (151 citations)
  • The potential for skill across the range of the seamless weather‐climate prediction problem: a stimulus for our science (115 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Mathematical analysis

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Rossby wave and Latitude. Climatology and Jet stream are commonly linked in his work. His work in the fields of Atmospheric sciences, such as Forcing, overlaps with other areas such as Blocking.

The various areas that Brian J. Hoskins examines in his Meteorology study include Offshore wind power and Tropical circulation. His work deals with themes such as North Atlantic oscillation, Jet and Westerlies, which intersect with Latitude. As a member of one scientific family, Brian J. Hoskins mostly works in the field of Northern Hemisphere, focusing on Zonal and meridional and, on occasion, Baroclinity, Orography and Storm.
