Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Climate change

Gerald R. North mainly investigates Climate model, Climatology, Meteorology, Statistics and Statistical physics. His Climate model study combines topics in areas such as Constant, Atmospheric sciences, Paleoclimatology and Ice sheet. His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Glacier, Ice age, Climate change and Milankovitch cycles.

His research links Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer with Meteorology. His Sampling research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Sample size determination, Weighting, Geopotential height, Sample and Rule of thumb. His study in the field of Rain gauge also crosses realms of Tropics.

His most cited work include:

  • Sampling Errors in the Estimation of Empirical Orthogonal Functions (2299 citations)
  • The status of the tropical rainfall measuring mission (TRMM) after two years in orbit (998 citations)
  • A Proposed Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Satellite (710 citations)

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

Climatology, Climate model, Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences and Climate change are his primary areas of study. Gerald R. North has included themes like Amplitude, Ice sheet and Climate sensitivity in his Climatology study. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Energy balance, Earth's energy budget, Solar constant, Snow and Statistical physics.

The various areas that he examines in his Statistical physics study include Statistics and Empirical orthogonal functions. Gerald R. North combines subjects such as Eigenvalues and eigenvectors and Spherical harmonics with his study of Statistics. The concepts of his Meteorology study are interwoven with issues in Mathematical model and Stochastic modelling.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (40.95%)
  • Climate model (28.10%)
  • Meteorology (18.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Climatology (40.95%)
  • Climate change (12.38%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (18.10%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Climate change, Atmospheric sciences, Climate model and Greenhouse gas. His Climatology research incorporates themes from Spatial distribution and Effects of global warming. The Global warming research he does as part of his general Climate change study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Food security and Sustainability, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

The Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer, Energy balance, Degree and Climate sensitivity. He has researched Climate model in several fields, including Monte Carlo method, Statistical significance, Precipitation and Confidence interval. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Paleoclimatology, Weighting, Environmental resource management, Water cycle and Data stream.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Energy Balance Climate Models (422 citations)
  • Correlation Models for Temperature Fields (50 citations)
  • Study of the Impact of Summer Monsoon Circulation on Spatial Distribution of Aerosols in East Asia Based on Numerical Simulations (37 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Statistics
  • Climate change

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Monsoon, Aerosol and Spatial distribution. The study incorporates disciplines such as Effects of global warming and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer in addition to Climatology. He interconnects Stochastic process, Radiative transfer, Energy balance and Linear stability in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences.

In general Monsoon study, his work on East Asian Monsoon and Monsoon of South Asia often relates to the realm of East Asia and Peninsula, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His studies in Anomaly integrate themes in fields like Power, Annual cycle, Mode and Latitude. Particularly relevant to Climate model is his body of work in Climate change.
