Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

Claude Estournel mainly focuses on Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Continental shelf, Mediterranean climate and Climatology. His study in the field of Current and Submarine pipeline also crosses realms of Caesium. His Mediterranean sea research includes themes of Convection, Canyon and Erosion.

His work carried out in the field of Continental shelf brings together such families of science as Seawater and Mesoscale meteorology. His Mediterranean climate study combines topics in areas such as Climate change and Ecosystem. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Discharge, Downwelling, Plume and Computer simulation.

His most cited work include:

  • Marine ecosystems' responses to climatic and anthropogenic forcings in the Mediterranean (279 citations)
  • HYMEX , a 10-year Multidisciplinary Program on the mediterranean water cycle. (238 citations)
  • Observation and modeling of the winter coastal oceanic circulation in the Gulf of Lion under wind conditions influenced by the continental orography (FETCH experiment) (186 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Mediterranean climate, Climatology and Atmospheric sciences. Claude Estournel frequently studies issues relating to Ecosystem and Oceanography. His studies deal with areas such as Convection, Argo, Climate change, Biogeochemical cycle and Mixed layer as well as Mediterranean sea.

The various areas that he examines in his Mediterranean climate study include Photic zone, Spring and Upwelling. His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Deep convection, Eddy and Water cycle. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Turbulence, Meteorology and Stratification.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (52.68%)
  • Mediterranean sea (43.75%)
  • Mediterranean climate (29.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Oceanography (52.68%)
  • Mediterranean sea (43.75%)
  • Mediterranean climate (29.46%)

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

Claude Estournel spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Mediterranean climate, Climatology and Biogeochemical cycle. His Oceanography research includes elements of Spring bloom and Ecosystem. His Mediterranean sea study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Argo, Climate change, Mixed layer, Seasonal cycle and Water cycle.

His work deals with themes such as Photic zone, Source to sink and Environmental engineering, which intersect with Mediterranean climate. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Bloom, Stratification and Deep convection, Convection. Claude Estournel works mostly in the field of Biogeochemical cycle, limiting it down to topics relating to Nutrient and, in certain cases, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, as a part of the same area of interest.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • HYMEX , a 10-year Multidisciplinary Program on the mediterranean water cycle. (238 citations)
  • Seasonal cycle of the mixed layer, the seasonal thermocline and the upper-ocean heat storage rate in the Mediterranean Sea derived from observations (60 citations)
  • Multiscale Observations of Deep Convection in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea during Winter 2012–2013 Using Multiple Platforms (45 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mediterranean sea, Oceanography, Climatology, Convection and Mediterranean climate. He interconnects Argo, Climate change and Thermohaline circulation in the investigation of issues within Mediterranean sea. His research integrates issues of Phytoplankton and Spring bloom in his study of Oceanography.

His research integrates issues of Bloom and Water cycle in his study of Climatology. Claude Estournel works mostly in the field of Convection, limiting it down to concerns involving Biogeochemical cycle and, occasionally, Water column. Mediterranean climate is closely attributed to Spring in his study.
