Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Ionosphere
  • Astronomy

D. L. Carpenter spends much of his time researching Geophysics, Plasmasphere, Ionosphere, Magnetosphere and Whistler. His Substorm research extends to Geophysics, which is thematically connected. As part of one scientific family, D. L. Carpenter deals mainly with the area of Plasmasphere, narrowing it down to issues related to the Astrophysics, and often Electrojet and Longitude.

His Ionosphere research incorporates themes from Electric field, Electron precipitation, Atmospheric sciences and Field line, Magnetic field. His research in the fields of Plasma sheet overlaps with other disciplines such as Local time. The various areas that he examines in his Whistler study include Van Allen radiation belt, Radio wave and Optics.

His most cited work include:

  • The Earth's Plasmasphere (226 citations)
  • Multisatellite observations of rapid subauroral ion drifts (SAID) (144 citations)
  • Lightning-induced electron precipitation (141 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Geophysics, Plasmasphere, Whistler, Ionosphere and Magnetosphere. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Electric field, Astrophysics, Amplitude, Earth's magnetic field and Substorm. His Plasmasphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Field line, Electron density, Remote sensing and Planetary science.

His work carried out in the field of Whistler brings together such families of science as Computational physics, Radio wave, Electron precipitation, Very low frequency and Noise. His Ionosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Van Allen radiation belt, Reflection, Flux and Geomagnetic storm. When carried out as part of a general Magnetosphere research project, his work on Plasma sheet and Magnetopause is frequently linked to work in Radio sounding, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (56.20%)
  • Plasmasphere (48.91%)
  • Whistler (41.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2014)?

  • Whistler (41.61%)
  • Plasmasphere (48.91%)
  • Ionosphere (36.50%)

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

His main research concerns Whistler, Plasmasphere, Ionosphere, Image and Optics. His Whistler research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reflection, Computational physics, Magnetosphere and Middle latitudes. His Plasmasphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plasma oscillation, Planetary science and Geophysics, Space physics.

His research in Geophysics intersects with topics in Atmospheric sciences and Coupling. The Ionosphere study combines topics in areas such as Thunderstorm, Van Allen radiation belt, Astrophysical plasma, Atomic physics and Earth's magnetic field. His Optics research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Electron density and Plasma.

Between 2003 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • The Plasmasphere Boundary Layer (96 citations)
  • Plasmaspheric Density Structures and Dynamics: Properties Observed by the CLUSTER and IMAGE Missions (96 citations)
  • Multi‐hop whistler‐mode ELF/VLF signals and triggered emissions excited by the HAARP HF heater (42 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Astronomy
  • Ionosphere

D. L. Carpenter mainly focuses on Plasmasphere, Ionosphere, Geophysics, Magnetosphere and Planetary science. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Plasmasphere and Context in his work. His work deals with themes such as Refractive index, Scattering, Optics, Van Allen radiation belt and Electron density, which intersect with Ionosphere.

His research investigates the link between Geophysics and topics such as Earth's magnetic field that cross with problems in Whistler. The concepts of his Magnetosphere study are interwoven with issues in Magnetohydrodynamics, Convection, Dynamo and Space physics. His Planetary science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spacecraft, Space exploration, Remote sensing and Cluster.
