Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Hydrology
  • Evapotranspiration

Evapotranspiration, Hydrology, North American Monsoon, Eddy covariance and Remote sensing are his primary areas of study. His work on Watershed as part of his general Hydrology study is frequently connected to Woodland, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His North American Monsoon research incorporates elements of Drainage basin and Ecohydrology.

In his study, Latent heat, Semi-arid climate and Energy balance is inextricably linked to Water content, which falls within the broad field of Remote sensing. He studied Ecosystem respiration and Carbon sink that intersect with Atmospheric sciences. His Monsoon study is concerned with Climatology in general.

His most cited work include:

  • Interannual and seasonal variation in fluxes of water and carbon dioxide from a riparian woodland ecosystem (154 citations)
  • A LANDSCAPE APPROACH FOR DETECTING AND EVALUATING CHANGE IN A SEMI-ARID ENVIRONMENT (118 citations)
  • Observed relation between evapotranspiration and soil moisture in the North American monsoon region (115 citations)

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

Christopher J. Watts mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Hydrology, Evapotranspiration, North American Monsoon and Remote sensing. His work in the fields of Atmospheric sciences, such as Sensible heat, overlaps with other areas such as Dust devil. His research integrates issues of Remote sensing and Growing season in his study of Hydrology.

His study in Evapotranspiration is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eddy covariance, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Irrigation, Irrigation scheduling. His research investigates the connection between North American Monsoon and topics such as Ecohydrology that intersect with issues in Shrubland. His work on Radiometer as part of general Remote sensing research is frequently linked to Cloud cover, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (34.00%)
  • Hydrology (27.00%)
  • Evapotranspiration (27.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Evapotranspiration (27.00%)
  • Eddy covariance (19.00%)
  • Hydrology (27.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Evapotranspiration, Eddy covariance, Hydrology, Ecohydrology and Atmospheric sciences. Christopher J. Watts has researched Evapotranspiration in several fields, including Irrigation, Climate pattern, Physical geography, Water content and Arid ecosystems. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including North American Monsoon and Growing season.

North American Monsoon is a subfield of Climatology that Christopher J. Watts tackles. His Ecohydrology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Shrubland and Precipitation. His work in Atmospheric sciences addresses subjects such as Ecosystem respiration, which are connected to disciplines such as Carbon sink, Co2 exchange and Sink.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • CO2 exchange and evapotranspiration across dryland ecosystems of southwestern North America. (73 citations)
  • Intercomparison of four remote-sensing-based energy balance methods to retrieve surface evapotranspiration and water stress of irrigated fields in semi-arid climate. (68 citations)
  • A modeling approach reveals differences in evapotranspiration and its partitioning in two semiarid ecosystems in Northwest Mexico (39 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Hydrology
  • Evapotranspiration

His scientific interests lie mostly in Evapotranspiration, Eddy covariance, Hydrology, Water content and North American Monsoon. His work deals with themes such as Energy balance and Crop yield, which intersect with Evapotranspiration. His Eddy covariance research integrates issues from Atmospheric sciences and Growing season.

His Hydrology research incorporates themes from Latent heat, Remote sensing and Semi-arid climate. The Water content study combines topics in areas such as Water-use efficiency, Irrigation, Sowing, Leaf area index and Water balance. His North American Monsoon study contributes to a more complete understanding of Climatology.
