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

  • Ecology
  • Agriculture
  • Meteorology

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Daytime, Urban heat island and Exposure assessment. His Atmospheric sciences research focuses on Evapotranspiration and how it relates to Boundary layer, Canopy and Vegetation. His Climate change research integrates issues from Wet-bulb globe temperature, Developing country, Productivity, Monsoon and Heat index.

The various areas that he examines in his Daytime study include Urban water and Thermal. His Urban heat island study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Meteorology. His work deals with themes such as Climatology and Spatial variability, which intersect with Meteorology.
