Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Climatology
  • Meteorology

Chris J. C. Reason mainly investigates Climatology, Oceanography, Atmospheric circulation, La Niña and Sea surface temperature. His Climatology study often links to related topics such as Precipitation. His Oceanography study typically links adjacent topics like Annual cycle.

Within one scientific family, Chris J. C. Reason focuses on topics pertaining to Indian ocean under La Niña, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Landfall, Mainland, Oceanic basin and Quasi-biennial oscillation. His study focuses on the intersection of Anomaly and fields such as Forcing with connections in the field of Atmospheric model and Multivariate ENSO index. His Ocean current study combines topics in areas such as Rossby radius of deformation and Anticyclone.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of climate models (874 citations)
  • Dry spell frequencies and their variability over southern Africa (187 citations)
  • Links between the Antarctic Oscillation and winter rainfall over western South Africa (153 citations)

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

Climatology, Oceanography, Sea surface temperature, Atmospheric circulation and Southern Hemisphere are his primary areas of study. His work in Mesoscale meteorology, La Niña, Forcing, Anticyclone and Ocean current is related to Climatology. His work in Upwelling, Anomaly, Thermohaline circulation, Indian Ocean Dipole and Tropical cyclone are all subfields of Oceanography research.

His Sea surface temperature research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Atmosphere and Front. His Atmospheric circulation study incorporates themes from Monsoon and Precipitation. His work deals with themes such as Atmospheric sciences, Extratropical cyclone, Climate change and Boundary current, which intersect with Southern Hemisphere.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (81.55%)
  • Oceanography (42.86%)
  • Sea surface temperature (22.62%)

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

  • Climatology (81.55%)
  • Cape (6.55%)
  • Mesoscale meteorology (10.71%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Cape, Mesoscale meteorology, Oceanography and Atmospheric circulation. His Climatology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Structural basin. His Cape course of study focuses on Middle latitudes and Rossby wave, Tropopause and Baroclinity.

The Mesoscale meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Convection, Eddy kinetic energy, Mesoscale eddies, Current and Wind forcing. His Oceanography study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Moisture and Atmospheric moisture. Atmospheric circulation and Sea surface temperature are frequently intertwined in his study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Towards a more reliable historical reanalysis: Improvements for version 3 of the Twentieth Century Reanalysis system (101 citations)
  • The ‘Day Zero’ Cape Town drought and the poleward migration of moisture corridors (39 citations)
  • The Cape Town “Day Zero” drought and Hadley cell expansion (20 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

Chris J. C. Reason mainly focuses on Climatology, Oceanography, Southern Hemisphere, Convergence zone and Water scarcity. His Climatology research includes themes of Data assimilation and Precipitation. His Oceanography research incorporates elements of Moisture and Atmospheric moisture.

His Southern Hemisphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Teleconnection and Extratropical cyclone. Chris J. C. Reason has included themes like Trough, Convective instability and Indian ocean in his Convergence zone study. His work carried out in the field of Cape brings together such families of science as Forcing and South Atlantic High, Anticyclone.
