Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Atmosphere of Earth

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Meteorology, Aerosol, Polarization and Data assimilation. His Remote sensing study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Atmosphere of Earth. His Atmosphere of Earth study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cloud top, Ocean color, Earth's energy budget and Global change.

His Inversion, Water vapor and SCIAMACHY study in the realm of Meteorology interacts with subjects such as Droplet size. His Angstrom exponent, Aerosol remote sensing, Cloud droplet and Aerosol effect study, which is part of a larger body of work in Aerosol, is frequently linked to Twomey effect, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Polarization study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Radiance, Reflectivity and Anisotropy.

His most cited work include:

  • The POLDER mission: instrument characteristics and scientific objectives (688 citations)
  • Estimating PAR absorbed by vegetation from bidirectional reflectance measurements (639 citations)
  • The Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO) mission (494 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Aerosol, Polarization, Meteorology and Atmospheric sciences. His Remote sensing research incorporates elements of Image resolution, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function, Reflectivity, Near-infrared spectroscopy and Radiative transfer. His Aerosol research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Lidar, Atmosphere and Climatology.

His work in Polarization addresses subjects such as Radiance, which are connected to disciplines such as Sky. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmospheric correction, Climate model and Greenhouse gas. His work on Troposphere as part of general Atmospheric sciences study is frequently linked to Global distribution, Western siberia and Transient, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (47.62%)
  • Aerosol (27.78%)
  • Polarization (21.43%)

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

  • Remote sensing (47.62%)
  • Meteorology (19.84%)
  • Image resolution (6.35%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Remote sensing, Meteorology, Image resolution, Atmospheric sciences and Production. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Narrowband, Bidirectional reflectance distribution function, Reflectivity, Earth observation and Radiative transfer. The various areas that François-Marie Bréon examines in his Meteorology study include Atmospheric correction and Climate model.

His Image resolution research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cloud droplet, Scattering and Polarization. François-Marie Bréon has researched Atmospheric sciences in several fields, including Humidity, Seasonality and Altitude. His studies deal with areas such as Range, Extinction and Aerosol as well as Altitude.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessing climate change impacts on European wind energy from ENSEMBLES high-resolution climate projections (114 citations)
  • Near-real-time monitoring of global CO2 emissions reveals the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. (78 citations)
  • Regional climate model simulations indicate limited climatic impacts by operational and planned European wind farms (70 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Wind power, Climate change, Meteorology and Climate model. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Prevailing winds, Lidar, Atmosphere and Altitude. Many of his Wind power research pursuits overlap with Carbon neutrality, Environmental protection, Global warming, Electricity generation and Photovoltaic system.

His study in the fields of Climate response and Future climate under the domain of Climate change overlaps with other disciplines such as Hydropower and Transient. François-Marie Bréon combines topics linked to Environmental resource management with his work on Meteorology.
