Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climatology
  • Precipitation

Climatology, Atmospheric river, Precipitation, Orography and Meteorology are his primary areas of study. His research integrates issues of Storm, Orographic lift and Flooding in his study of Climatology. His Atmospheric river research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Dropsonde, Mesoscale meteorology, Hydrology, Middle latitudes and Water vapor.

He has researched Precipitation in several fields, including Winter storm and Atmospheric sciences. His Orography study incorporates themes from Rain gauge and Oceanography. The various areas that he examines in his Meteorology study include Remote sensing and Vertical velocity.

His most cited work include:

  • Satellite and CALJET Aircraft Observations of Atmospheric Rivers over the Eastern North Pacific Ocean during the Winter of 1997/98 (466 citations)
  • Flooding on California's Russian River : Role of atmospheric rivers (445 citations)
  • Meteorological Characteristics and Overland Precipitation Impacts of Atmospheric Rivers Affecting the West Coast of North America Based on Eight Years of SSM/I Satellite Observations (438 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Atmospheric river, Precipitation, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His work on Extratropical cyclone as part of his general Climatology study is frequently connected to West coast, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Atmospheric river research incorporates themes from Storm, Dropsonde, Mesoscale meteorology, Hydrology and Middle latitudes.

His study focuses on the intersection of Precipitation and fields such as Winter storm with connections in the field of Snowpack and Landfall. His work on Data assimilation and Numerical weather prediction as part of general Meteorology study is frequently linked to Tracking and Radio occultation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. He has included themes like Moisture, Atmosphere and Asian Dust in his Atmospheric sciences study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (48.91%)
  • Atmospheric river (34.78%)
  • Precipitation (35.87%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Atmospheric river (34.78%)
  • Climatology (48.91%)
  • Precipitation (35.87%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric river, Climatology, Precipitation, Atmospheric sciences and Hydrology. His Atmospheric river research is under the purview of Meteorology. His work on Extratropical cyclone, Forecast skill and Teleconnection as part of general Climatology research is frequently linked to Predictability, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His research in Precipitation tackles topics such as General Circulation Model which are related to areas like Lead. His studies deal with areas such as Jet, Atmosphere, Surface winds and Water vapor as well as Atmospheric sciences. His research investigates the connection between Landslide and topics such as Winter storm that intersect with problems in Bay.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Scale to Characterize the Strength and Impacts of Atmospheric Rivers (107 citations)
  • Precipitation regime change in Western North America: The role of Atmospheric Rivers (52 citations)
  • ARTMIP-early start comparison of atmospheric river detection tools: how many atmospheric rivers hit northern California’s Russian River watershed? (41 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climatology
  • Tropical cyclone

F. Martin Ralph mainly focuses on Climatology, Atmospheric river, Precipitation, West coast and Forecast skill. Many of his research projects under Climatology are closely connected to Predictability with Predictability, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric river brings together such families of science as Hydrology, Extreme events and Extratropical cyclone.

His Extratropical cyclone study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Watershed and Stall. He interconnects Flooding and Arctic oscillation in the investigation of issues within Precipitation. His research in Forecast skill intersects with topics in Landfall, Hydrometeorology, Frontal wave and Mesoscale meteorology.
