Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Infrared

Ellsworth J. Welton focuses on Environmental science, Aerosol, Lidar, Remote sensing and Atmospheric sciences. Environmental science and Climatology are two areas of study in which Ellsworth J. Welton engages in interdisciplinary research. His research ties Extinction and Aerosol together.

His research integrates issues of Cloud cover, Meteorology and Calibration in his study of Lidar. His Remote sensing research incorporates elements of Laser, Water vapor, Detector and AERONET. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Mineral dust and Precipitation.

His most cited work include:

  • Reduction of Tropical Cloudiness by Soot (982 citations)
  • Advancements in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 database – automated near-real-time quality control algorithm with improved cloud screening for Sun photometer aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements (235 citations)
  • Full-Time, Eye-Safe Cloud and Aerosol Lidar Observation at Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program Sites: Instruments and Data Analysis (235 citations)

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

Ellsworth J. Welton mainly investigates Environmental science, Aerosol, Lidar, Remote sensing and Atmospheric sciences. His research in Aerosol intersects with topics in Troposphere and Extinction. His work carried out in the field of Lidar brings together such families of science as Daytime, Cirrus, Meteorology and Backscatter.

His research investigates the link between Remote sensing and topics such as Wavelength that cross with problems in Scattering. As part of the same scientific family, Ellsworth J. Welton usually focuses on Atmospheric sciences, concentrating on Radiative forcing and intersecting with Atmospheric radiative transfer codes. His AERONET research integrates issues from Calibration, Radiometer and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Environmental science (78.62%)
  • Aerosol (72.41%)
  • Lidar (63.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Environmental science (78.62%)
  • Lidar (63.45%)
  • Aerosol (72.41%)

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

Ellsworth J. Welton mainly focuses on Environmental science, Lidar, Aerosol, Remote sensing and Meteorology. His Environmental science research includes a combination of various areas of study, such as Atmospheric sciences, Radiative transfer, Atmosphere, Climatology and Troposphere. The various areas that Ellsworth J. Welton examines in his Lidar study include Atmospheric radiative transfer codes, Cirrus, Precipitation, Latent heat and Daytime.

His work on AERONET as part of his general Aerosol study is frequently connected to Water cycle, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Remote sensing course of study focuses on Cloud top and Cloud cover. His study in the field of Smoke, Air quality index, Weather Research and Forecasting Model and Radiosonde also crosses realms of Planetary boundary layer.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Advancements in the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Version 3 database – automated near-real-time quality control algorithm with improved cloud screening for Sun photometer aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements (235 citations)
  • Daytime Cirrus Cloud Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Forcing Properties at a Midlatitude Site and their Global Consequence. (41 citations)
  • Satellite-Surface Perspectives of Air Quality and Aerosol-Cloud Effects on the Environment: An Overview of 7-SEAS BASELInE (36 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Infrared
  • Optics

His primary areas of investigation include Environmental science, Lidar, Aerosol, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His work blends Environmental science and Troposphere studies together. His Lidar research incorporates themes from Atmosphere and Cirrus.

Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Air quality index and Aerosol. As a part of the same scientific family, Ellsworth J. Welton mostly works in the field of Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Radiative forcing and, on occasion, Forcing and Zenith. The AERONET study combines topics in areas such as Ancillary data, Anomaly, Calibration and Data set.
