Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Electron
  • Solar wind
  • Astronomy

Bruce T. Tsurutani mainly focuses on Geophysics, Solar wind, Astrophysics, Magnetosphere and Geomagnetic storm. The various areas that Bruce T. Tsurutani examines in his Geophysics study include Magnetopause, Earth's magnetic field, Plasma sheet, Magnetic reconnection and Substorm. His biological study deals with issues like Ionosphere, which deal with fields such as Noon.

His research in Astrophysics intersects with topics in Field strength, Heliosphere and Magnetohydrodynamics, Plasma. The study incorporates disciplines such as Astrobiology, Computational physics, Atmosphere of Earth and Shock in addition to Magnetosphere. Bruce T. Tsurutani combines subjects such as Storm, Ring current, Coronal mass ejection, Magnetic cloud and Atmospheric sciences with his study of Geomagnetic storm.

His most cited work include:

  • What is a geomagnetic storm (1430 citations)
  • Origin of interplanetary southward magnetic fields responsible for major magnetic storms near solar maximum (1978–1979) (482 citations)
  • Postmidnight chorus: A substorm phenomenon (480 citations)

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

Bruce T. Tsurutani mainly investigates Solar wind, Geophysics, Astrophysics, Magnetosphere and Geomagnetic storm. His Solar wind research incorporates themes from Computational physics and Astronomy. His Geophysics research integrates issues from Earth's magnetic field, Plasma sheet, Interplanetary spaceflight and Substorm.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Shock wave and Heliosphere. The Magnetosphere study combines topics in areas such as Spacecraft and Magnetic reconnection. His research investigates the connection between Geomagnetic storm and topics such as Atmospheric sciences that intersect with problems in Solar cycle 23.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Solar wind (41.41%)
  • Geophysics (34.93%)
  • Astrophysics (23.80%)

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

  • Solar wind (41.41%)
  • Ionosphere (14.79%)
  • Geophysics (34.93%)

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

His main research concerns Solar wind, Ionosphere, Geophysics, Magnetosphere and Plasma. Bruce T. Tsurutani has included themes like Earth's magnetic field and Atmospheric sciences in his Solar wind study. Geophysics connects with themes related to Van Allen radiation belt in his study.

His Magnetosphere study which covers Interplanetary spaceflight that intersects with Shock. His Plasma research includes elements of Comet, Computational physics, Dynamics, Ionization and Atomic physics. Bruce T. Tsurutani works mostly in the field of Geomagnetic storm, limiting it down to concerns involving Coronal mass ejection and, occasionally, Magnetopause and Solar flare.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Interplanetary Causes of Magnetic Storms: A Review (304 citations)
  • First detection of a diamagnetic cavity at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (83 citations)
  • Comets: a Laboratory for Plasma Waves and Instabilities (66 citations)

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

  • Electron
  • Solar wind
  • Astronomy

Bruce T. Tsurutani mostly deals with Solar wind, Geophysics, Ionosphere, Coronal mass ejection and Magnetosphere. His Solar wind research includes themes of Earth's magnetic field and Astrophysics. In his study, Magnetosonic wave is strongly linked to Equator, which falls under the umbrella field of Geophysics.

His research integrates issues of Computational physics and Astronomy in his study of Coronal mass ejection. Magnetosphere is closely attributed to Interplanetary spaceflight in his research. His Geomagnetic storm study combines topics in areas such as Space weather and Thermosphere.
