What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Meteorology
- Climatology
- Tropical cyclone
His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Tropical wave, Monsoon, Tropical cyclone and Meteorology.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Storm and Convection.
His work deals with themes such as Potential vorticity, Vorticity and African easterly jet, which intersect with Tropical wave.
The concepts of his Monsoon study are interwoven with issues in Annual cycle, Atmospheric circulation and Field campaign.
His Tropical cyclone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Synoptic scale meteorology and Storm track.
His work investigates the relationship between Meteorology and topics such as Cyclogenesis that intersect with problems in Mesoscale convective system.
His most cited work include:
- Two paradigms of baroclinic‐wave life‐cycle behaviour (630 citations)
- African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis: An International Research Project and Field Campaign (552 citations)
- The extratropical transition of tropical cyclones : forecast challenges, current understanding, and future directions (368 citations)
