Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Climatology

His primary areas of study are Climate change, Climatology, Precipitation, Climate model and Atmospheric sciences. His Climate change research integrates issues from Extreme value theory, Greenhouse gas and Atmospheric temperature. His research integrates issues of Transient climate simulation and Radiative forcing in his study of Climatology.

His work carried out in the field of Precipitation brings together such families of science as Snow and Coupled model intercomparison project. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Abrupt climate change and Extreme weather. The various areas that Francis W. Zwiers examines in his Atmospheric sciences study include Global warming, Weather and climate and Subtropics.

His most cited work include:

  • Statistical Analysis in Climate Research (2358 citations)
  • Statistical Analysis in Climate Research (1590 citations)
  • Human contribution to more-intense precipitation extremes (1264 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Climate change, Climate model, Precipitation and Atmospheric sciences. He has researched Climatology in several fields, including General Circulation Model, Coupled model intercomparison project and Meteorology. Francis W. Zwiers focuses mostly in the field of Climate change, narrowing it down to topics relating to Greenhouse gas and, in certain cases, Aerosol.

His studies deal with areas such as Sea surface temperature, Downscaling, Radiative forcing, Global change and Atmospheric temperature as well as Climate model. As part of the same scientific family, Francis W. Zwiers usually focuses on Precipitation, concentrating on Extreme value theory and intersecting with Precipitable water and Bivariate analysis. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Attribution of recent climate change and Abrupt climate change.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (77.71%)
  • Climate change (38.86%)
  • Climate model (34.29%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Climatology (77.71%)
  • Precipitation (35.43%)
  • Climate model (34.29%)

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

Francis W. Zwiers mostly deals with Climatology, Precipitation, Climate model, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Snow, Drainage basin and Coupled model intercomparison project. His Precipitation research incorporates elements of Extreme events and Extreme value theory.

His Climate model research includes elements of Global temperature, Annual cycle and Sea surface temperature. His Climate change study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere and Greenhouse gas. Francis W. Zwiers combines subjects such as Spatial ecology and Daily maximum temperature with his study of Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Attribution of extreme weather and climate-related events (245 citations)
  • Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change (144 citations)
  • The Decadal Climate Prediction Project (DCPP) contribution to CMIP6 (121 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Climate change
  • Climatology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Climate change, Precipitation, Climate model and Atmospheric sciences. His work in the fields of Climatology, such as Forcing and Northern Hemisphere, intersects with other areas such as Natural. His research in Climate change is mostly concerned with Global warming.

His study in Precipitation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Sea surface temperature, Extratropical cyclone and Gulf Stream. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Moisture, Dry season, Weather and climate and Water cycle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Spatial ecology, Annual cycle and Climate extremes.
