Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

His main research concerns Atmosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Environmental science. His Atmosphere study combines topics in areas such as Trace gas, Stratosphere and Remote sensing. His studies link Altitude with Atmospheric sciences.

His work on Mesopause as part of general Mesosphere research is frequently linked to Global Positioning System, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research in Mesopause focuses on subjects like Amplitude, which are connected to Atmospheric wave, Latitude and Middle latitudes. His Thermosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology and Atmospheric temperature.

His most cited work include:

  • Review of mesospheric temperature trends (225 citations)
  • A new Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) 1. Formulation of advection and mixing (174 citations)
  • Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA) experiment and middle atmosphere variability (163 citations)

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

Dirk Offermann mainly focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Environmental science, Atmosphere, Stratosphere and Mesosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Thermosphere and Altitude in addition to Atmospheric sciences. His research in Atmosphere intersects with topics in Spectrometer, Satellite, Remote sensing and Tropopause.

His work on Polar vortex as part of general Stratosphere study is frequently connected to Crista, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Mesosphere research includes themes of Gravity wave, Atmospheric wave, Rocket and Atmospheric sounding. His Mesopause research includes elements of Amplitude and Airglow.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (70.92%)
  • Environmental science (45.39%)
  • Atmosphere (43.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (70.92%)
  • Mesopause (21.28%)
  • Amplitude (13.48%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Mesopause, Amplitude, Mesosphere and Atmosphere. Dirk Offermann interconnects Altitude and Thermosphere in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences. In his study, Trace gas, Quasi-biennial oscillation, North Atlantic oscillation and Forcing is inextricably linked to Sea surface temperature, which falls within the broad field of Amplitude.

His work investigates the relationship between Mesosphere and topics such as Middle latitudes that intersect with problems in Southern Hemisphere. The various areas that Dirk Offermann examines in his Atmosphere study include Rotational temperature and Radiometry. His Stratosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wave propagation and Latitude.

Between 2005 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Long‐term trends and solar cycle variations of mesospheric temperature and dynamics (56 citations)
  • Relative intensities of middle atmosphere waves (48 citations)
  • Intercomparison of kinetic temperature from 15 μm CO2 limb emissions and OH*(3,1) rotational temperature in nearly coincident air masses: SABER, GRIPS (30 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

Dirk Offermann mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Mesopause, Mesosphere, Atmosphere and Amplitude. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Turbopause and Thermosphere. He has researched Thermosphere in several fields, including Wave propagation, Gravity wave, Surface wave and Latitude.

His Mesopause research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Wind speed, Baroclinity, Solstice and Microwave Limb Sounder. His work focuses on many connections between Atmosphere and other disciplines, such as Radiometry, that overlap with his field of interest in Rotational temperature, Infrared, Meteorology and Kinetic energy. In his research on the topic of Amplitude, Climatology is strongly related with Polar.
