Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Optics
  • Astronomy
  • Infrared

Franck Montmessin spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Mars Exploration Program, Atmosphere of Mars, Atmosphere and Martian. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Ice core and Water vapor. His Mars Exploration Program research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Airglow, Meteorology, Diurnal cycle and Planet.

His Atmosphere of Mars study incorporates themes from Orbiter, Altitude, Remote sensing and Nadir. Franck Montmessin combines subjects such as Ozone and Latitude with his study of Atmosphere. His Martian research integrates issues from Microphysics, Cloud condensation nuclei, Aerosol and Ice cloud.

His most cited work include:

  • The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution ( MAVEN ) Mission (375 citations)
  • Formation of Glaciers on Mars by Atmospheric Precipitation at High Obliquity (317 citations)
  • Origin and role of water ice clouds in the Martian water cycle as inferred from a general circulation model (271 citations)

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

His main research concerns Mars Exploration Program, Atmospheric sciences, Astrobiology, Atmosphere of Mars and Martian. His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Airglow, Orbiter, Planet and Remote sensing. His study in the field of Mesosphere is also linked to topics like Water cycle.

His study in the fields of Mars express under the domain of Astrobiology overlaps with other disciplines such as Omega. The various areas that he examines in his Atmosphere of Mars study include Trace gas, Aerosol, Astrophysics and Nadir. His work deals with themes such as Climatology, Dust storm and Ice cloud, which intersect with Martian.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Mars Exploration Program (53.30%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (43.40%)
  • Astrobiology (32.99%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Mars Exploration Program (53.30%)
  • Atmosphere of Mars (33.68%)
  • Astrobiology (32.99%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Mars Exploration Program, Atmosphere of Mars, Astrobiology, Atmospheric sciences and Martian. His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere, Trace gas, Occultation, Orbiter and Remote sensing. His work focuses on many connections between Atmosphere and other disciplines, such as Venus, that overlap with his field of interest in Cloud top.

His study in Atmosphere of Mars is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Spectral line, Longitude and Altitude. Franck Montmessin works mostly in the field of Atmospheric sciences, limiting it down to topics relating to Water vapor and, in certain cases, Mixing ratio. The Martian study combines topics in areas such as Ionosphere, Spectral signature, Astrophysics and Sunset.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Loss of the Martian atmosphere to space: Present-day loss rates determined from MAVEN observations and integrated loss through time (102 citations)
  • The Atmospheric Chemistry Suite (ACS) of Three Spectrometers for the ExoMars 2016 Trace Gas Orbiter (53 citations)
  • Martian dust storm impact on atmospheric H2O and D/H observed by ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter. (52 citations)

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

  • Optics
  • Astronomy
  • Infrared

Franck Montmessin mainly investigates Mars Exploration Program, Atmosphere of Mars, Atmospheric sciences, Atmosphere and Martian. His Mars Exploration Program research incorporates themes from Spectrometer, Orbiter, Occultation and Remote sensing. Franck Montmessin interconnects Spacecraft, Astrophysics, Aerosol, Spectral line and Thermosphere in the investigation of issues within Atmosphere of Mars.

His research integrates issues of Longitude, Latitude, Water vapor, Altitude and Ozone in his study of Atmospheric sciences. His Atmosphere research incorporates elements of Brightness, Corona, Planet and Venus. His Martian study improves the overall literature in Astrobiology.
