Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Precipitation

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Precipitation, Climate model, Extreme value theory and Rain gauge. His study in the fields of Mesoscale meteorology under the domain of Climatology overlaps with other disciplines such as Scaling. His Hydrometeorology study in the realm of Precipitation connects with subjects such as Intensity and Dynamic method.

His research integrates issues of Storm, Winter storm, Storm surge and Wind speed in his study of Climate model. He focuses mostly in the field of Extreme value theory, narrowing it down to matters related to Trend analysis and, in some cases, Spatial distribution, Trend surface analysis, Linear regression, Range and Time series. His study on Dog days and Precipitation - climate is often connected to Resolution and Weighting as part of broader study in Meteorology.

His most cited work include:

  • The role of increasing temperature variability in European summer heatwaves (2089 citations)
  • Future extreme events in European climate: an exploration of regional climate model projections (995 citations)
  • A PRECIPITATION CLIMATOLOGY OF THE ALPS FROM HIGH-RESOLUTION RAIN-GAUGE OBSERVATIONS (657 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Precipitation, Meteorology, Climate model and Rain gauge. His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Range, Downscaling and Extreme value theory. His Extreme value theory research includes themes of General Circulation Model and Climate change scenario.

The Precipitation study combines topics in areas such as Forecast skill, Explained variation, Trend analysis and Mesoscale meteorology. His work deals with themes such as Point estimation and Kriging, which intersect with Meteorology. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Predictability, Quantile, Global warming, Water cycle and Dog days.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (70.00%)
  • Precipitation (60.00%)
  • Meteorology (37.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2019)?

  • Climatology (70.00%)
  • Precipitation (60.00%)
  • Term (7.50%)

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

His main research concerns Climatology, Precipitation, Term, Meteorology and Mean radiant temperature. His Climatology research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Mean absolute error, Current, Variable, High temporal resolution and Time resolution. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Range, Statistics and Climate model.

In his papers, Christoph Frei integrates diverse fields, such as Term, Filter, Calibration, Reconstruction procedure, Multivariate interpolation and Mesoscale meteorology. The concepts of his Meteorology study are interwoven with issues in Point estimation, Consistency and Kriging. High resolution and Series are fields of study that intersect with his Mean radiant temperature research.

Between 2015 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Percentile indices for assessing changes in heavy precipitation events (112 citations)
  • Daily temperature grids for Austria since 1961—concept, creation and applicability (39 citations)
  • Daily precipitation grids for Austria since 1961—development and evaluation of a spatial dataset for hydroclimatic monitoring and modelling (29 citations)
