Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Magnetic field
  • Electron

David J. Southwood mostly deals with Magnetosphere, Geophysics, Solar wind, Ionosphere and Magnetic field. The various areas that David J. Southwood examines in his Magnetosphere study include Field line, Astronomy and Astrobiology. David J. Southwood has included themes like Quantum electrodynamics and Classical mechanics in his Field line study.

His Geophysics research integrates issues from Magnetopause, Magnetosheath, Plasma sheet, Mechanics and Earth's magnetic field. The Ionosphere study combines topics in areas such as Atmospheric models, Convection, Dipole, Polarization and Magnetohydrodynamic drive. His work deals with themes such as Spacecraft and Computational physics, which intersect with Magnetic field.

His most cited work include:

  • Some features of field line resonances in the magnetosphere (982 citations)
  • The screening of micropulsation signals by the atmosphere and ionosphere (430 citations)
  • The Cassini Magnetic Field Investigation (411 citations)

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

David J. Southwood spends much of his time researching Magnetosphere, Geophysics, Solar wind, Magnetic field and Astronomy. His Magnetosphere research incorporates elements of Field line, Computational physics, Classical mechanics and Saturn. David J. Southwood has researched Geophysics in several fields, including Magnetopause, Magnetic flux, Earth's magnetic field and Plasma sheet.

His study in Solar wind is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Shock wave, Asteroid, Atmospheric sciences and Current sheet. The study incorporates disciplines such as Spacecraft, Plasma, Field and Astrophysics in addition to Magnetic field. His Astronomy study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Astrobiology, Mercury's magnetic field and Magnetic dipole.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Magnetosphere (57.14%)
  • Geophysics (49.69%)
  • Solar wind (33.54%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Magnetosphere (57.14%)
  • Geophysics (49.69%)
  • Astronomy (27.02%)

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

David J. Southwood mainly investigates Magnetosphere, Geophysics, Astronomy, Saturn and Magnetosphere of Saturn. David J. Southwood interconnects Amplitude, Field line, Astrophysics and Solar wind in the investigation of issues within Magnetosphere. His work carried out in the field of Geophysics brings together such families of science as Dipole, Planet and Magnetic flux, Magnetic field.

His Astronomy research includes elements of Astrobiology and Rotation. David J. Southwood interconnects Ring current, Plasma, Circulation and Current sheet in the investigation of issues within Saturn. His Magnetosphere of Saturn study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rotation period and Saturn's hexagon.

Between 2006 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Variable Rotation Period of the Inner Region of Saturn's Plasma Disk (222 citations)
  • The Variable Rotation Period of the Inner Region of Saturn's Plasma Disk (222 citations)
  • Warping of Saturn's magnetospheric and magnetotail current sheets (138 citations)
