Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Oceanography
Meteorology
Thermodynamics

Eric Kunze mainly focuses on Internal wave, Geophysics, Turbulence, Oceanography and Thermal diffusivity. His studies in Internal wave integrate themes in fields like Eddy diffusion and Dissipation. In his work, Ocean current, Richardson number and Vortex is strongly intertwined with Seamount, which is a subfield of Geophysics.

His Turbulence study deals with Abyssal zone intersecting with Abyssal plain and Middle latitudes. Eric Kunze mostly deals with Internal tide in his studies of Oceanography. Eric Kunze focuses mostly in the field of Internal tide, narrowing it down to matters related to Ridge and, in some cases, Seafloor spreading.

His most cited work include:

Near-Inertial Wave Propagation In Geostrophic Shear (479 citations)
Internal Tide Generation in the Deep Ocean (429 citations)
Global Abyssal Mixing Inferred from Lowered ADCP Shear and CTD Strain Profiles (295 citations)

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

Eric Kunze mainly investigates Internal wave, Turbulence, Mechanics, Oceanography and Geophysics. His work on Internal tide as part of general Internal wave study is frequently linked to Shear and Energy flux, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Turbulence research incorporates elements of Buoyancy, Atmospheric sciences, Ocean current and Dissipation.

The concepts of his Mechanics study are interwoven with issues in Wavelength, Thermal diffusivity and Classical mechanics. In the field of Oceanography, his study on Krill, Inlet and Sargasso sea overlaps with subjects such as Mid-ocean ridge. His Geophysics research incorporates themes from Stratification, Climatology, Wavenumber, Turbulence kinetic energy and Seamount.

He most often published in these fields:

Internal wave (47.92%)
Turbulence (41.67%)
Mechanics (26.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
