Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

His main research concerns Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Water content. Christoph Schär undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Climatology and Present day in his work. His Climate model study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmospheric sciences, Atmospheric temperature, Global warming, Latent heat and Global change.

He has researched Precipitation in several fields, including Magnitude, Convection, Trend analysis and Scale. His work on Dog days, Kármán vortex street and Stratified flow as part of general Meteorology research is frequently linked to Event, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in Water content is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water balance, Net radiation, Moisture recycling, Evapotranspiration and Heat wave.

His most cited work include:

  • The role of increasing temperature variability in European summer heatwaves (2089 citations)
  • Land–atmosphere coupling and climate change in Europe (1035 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?

Christoph Schär spends much of his time researching Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His work in Climatology tackles topics such as Convection which are related to areas like Diurnal cycle. His studies deal with areas such as Atmosphere, Scale, Water content and Water cycle as well as Climate model.

His Precipitation research includes elements of Forcing and Surface runoff. His Meteorology research includes themes of Grid and Predictability. His research integrates issues of Latent heat, Orography and Aerosol in his study of Atmospheric sciences.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (57.00%)
  • Climate model (36.48%)
  • Precipitation (35.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Climatology (57.00%)
  • Precipitation (35.50%)
  • Climate model (36.48%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Precipitation, Climate model, Convection and Atmospheric sciences. Christoph Schär integrates Climatology with Scale in his research. The various areas that he examines in his Precipitation study include Percentile, Relative humidity, Seasonal cycle and Circulation.

His studies in Climate model integrate themes in fields like Statistics, Quantile and Meteorology. His Convection research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Orography, Diurnal cycle and Mesoscale meteorology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Marine stratocumulus, Deep convection, Thunderstorm and Water content in addition to Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Enhanced summer convective rainfall at Alpine high elevations in response to climate warming (120 citations)
  • Percentile indices for assessing changes in heavy precipitation events (112 citations)
  • Climate goals and computing the future of clouds (105 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

Christoph Schär mainly investigates Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Convection. He combines subjects such as Wind speed, Atmospheric sciences, Global warming, Downscaling and Scale with his study of Climatology. He interconnects Water cycle, Dry soil and Aerosol in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences.

His work carried out in the field of Climate model brings together such families of science as Snow, Grid, Quantile and Lapse rate. His Precipitation study combines topics in areas such as Physical geography, Abrupt climate change and Seasonal cycle. He has included themes like Geophysics and Mesoscale meteorology in his Convection study.
