2020 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climatology
  • Tropical cyclone

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Madden–Julian oscillation, Environmental science, Convection and Atmospheric sciences. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Outgoing longwave radiation and Precipitation. His Madden–Julian oscillation study is concerned with the larger field of Meteorology.

His Environmental science research spans across into subjects like Predictability and Ocean current. His research in Atmospheric sciences intersects with topics in Radiation budget, Radiative forcing, Aerosol and Convective precipitation. Chidong Zhang combines subjects such as South Pacific convergence zone and Extratropical cyclone with his study of Atmospheric circulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Madden‐Julian Oscillation (1445 citations)
  • Toward a unified view of the American monsoon systems (537 citations)
  • Impact of aerosols on convective clouds and precipitation (480 citations)

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

Chidong Zhang mainly investigates Climatology, Madden–Julian oscillation, Environmental science, Meteorology and Precipitation. His research integrates issues of Convection, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Atmospheric sciences in his study of Climatology. His Madden–Julian oscillation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both El Niño Southern Oscillation and Indian ocean.

His work in the fields of Weather and climate, Field campaign and Atmospheric circulation overlaps with other areas such as Predictability. His research investigates the connection between Precipitation and topics such as Monsoon that intersect with problems in Rainband. His Sea surface temperature research focuses on subjects like Kelvin wave, which are linked to Forcing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (75.51%)
  • Madden–Julian oscillation (51.02%)
  • Environmental science (47.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Madden–Julian oscillation (51.02%)
  • Climatology (75.51%)
  • Environmental science (47.62%)

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

Chidong Zhang spends much of his time researching Madden–Julian oscillation, Climatology, Environmental science, Precipitation and Indian ocean. Madden–Julian oscillation is often connected to Geophysics in his work. His Climatology study frequently links to other fields, such as Convection.

The various areas that Chidong Zhang examines in his Convection study include General Circulation Model, Troposphere and Intertropical Convergence Zone. Among his research on Environmental science, you can see a combination of other fields of science like Meteorology, Atmospheric convection, Sea surface temperature, The arctic and Sea ice. His work on Atmosphere is typically connected to Observatory as part of general Meteorology study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • QBO-MJO Connection (36 citations)
  • Dynamics-Oriented Diagnostics for the Madden–Julian Oscillation (31 citations)
  • Twofold expansion of the Indo-Pacific warm pool warps the MJO life cycle. (20 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Tropical cyclone
  • Climatology

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Madden–Julian oscillation, Environmental science, Barrier effect and Precipitation. His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Indian ocean, Convection and Earth system science. His studies in Madden–Julian oscillation integrate themes in fields like Statistical physics and Climate model.

Sea surface temperature, Ocean observations, Weather forecasting and Predictability are fields of study that overlap with his Environmental science research. His Sea surface temperature research includes themes of Argo, Weather and climate, Ocean current and Data assimilation. Chidong Zhang interconnects General Circulation Model and Troposphere in the investigation of issues within Precipitation.
