1996 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Optics
  • Astronomy

His main research concerns Lidar, Atmospheric sciences, Gravity wave, Mesopause and Optics. His Lidar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Thermosphere and Geophysics. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Sporadic E propagation, Meteorology, Altitude, Arecibo Observatory and Incoherent scatter.

The concepts of his Gravity wave study are interwoven with issues in Wavelength, Computational physics, Amplitude, Atomic physics and Richardson number. In his research on the topic of Mesopause, Boltzmann constant, Attenuation and Rotational temperature is strongly related with Atmospheric temperature. He has included themes like Wave propagation, Gravitational wave, Middle latitudes and Sodium layer in his Mesosphere study.

His most cited work include:

  • Experiments on laser guide stars at Mauna Kea Observatory for adaptive imaging in astronomy (149 citations)
  • Lidar studies of the nighttime sodium layer over Urbana, Illinois: 2. Gravity waves (141 citations)
  • Analytical models for the responses of the mesospheric OH* and Na layers to atmospheric gravity waves (133 citations)

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

Chester S. Gardner mostly deals with Lidar, Atmospheric sciences, Gravity wave, Mesosphere and Mesopause. He has researched Lidar in several fields, including Airglow and Meteorology, Altitude. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Atmosphere, Atmospheric tide, Thermosphere, Climatology and Latitude.

His studies in Gravity wave integrate themes in fields like Wavelength, Computational physics, Geophysics and Wavenumber. In his study, Daytime is strongly linked to Sodium layer, which falls under the umbrella field of Mesosphere. The Mesopause study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Flux, Heat flux and Atmospheric temperature.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lidar (52.13%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (40.76%)
  • Gravity wave (30.81%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2018)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (40.76%)
  • Lidar (52.13%)
  • Mesopause (28.91%)

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

Chester S. Gardner mainly investigates Atmospheric sciences, Lidar, Mesopause, Gravity wave and Environmental science. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Boltzmann constant, Latitude, Amplitude, Meteorology and Turbopause. His work carried out in the field of Lidar brings together such families of science as Atmosphere, Thermosphere, Climatology and Altitude.

His research on Mesopause concerns the broader Mesosphere. His Mesosphere research incorporates elements of StarFire and Polar. His Gravity wave study combines topics in areas such as Computational physics and Geophysics.

Between 2004 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Lidar observations of neutral Fe layers and fast gravity waves in the thermosphere (110–155 km) at McMurdo (77.8°S, 166.7°E), Antarctica (72 citations)
  • Seasonal variations of the vertical fluxes of heat and horizontal momentum in the mesopause region at Starfire Optical Range, New Mexico (55 citations)
  • Wave‐induced transport of atmospheric constituents and its effect on the mesospheric Na layer (54 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Optics
  • Astronomy

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Lidar, Mesopause, Altitude and Climatology. As a part of the same scientific study, Chester S. Gardner usually deals with the Atmospheric sciences, concentrating on Atmosphere and frequently concerns with Cosmic dust, Wavelength and Geophysics. His Mesopause study results in a more complete grasp of Mesosphere.

His Mesosphere research includes elements of Eddy diffusion and Flux. He combines subjects such as Latitude, Brightness, Polar mesospheric clouds, Southern Hemisphere and Thermosphere with his study of Altitude. He applies his multidisciplinary studies on Climatology and Environmental science in his research.
