Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Quantum mechanics

His primary areas of investigation include Remote sensing, Meteorology, Leaf area index, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Vegetation. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Snow, Canopy and Reflectivity. His work deals with themes such as Remote sensing and Satellite, which intersect with Meteorology.

His study looks at the relationship between Photosynthetically active radiation and fields such as Poaceae, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Satellite data, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon cycle and Plant growth. His work focuses on many connections between Radiative transfer and other disciplines, such as Atmosphere, that overlap with his field of interest in Atmospheric sciences.

His most cited work include:

  • Increased plant growth in the northern high latitudes from 1981 to 1991 (2739 citations)
  • Addressing climate information needs at the regional level: the CORDEX framework (965 citations)
  • Theory and applications of optical remote sensing (424 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Remote sensing, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Radiative transfer and Canopy. His research integrates issues of Wavelength, Leaf area index, Vegetation and Reflectivity in his study of Remote sensing. In his work, Plant cover and Growing season is strongly intertwined with Photosynthetically active radiation, which is a subfield of Leaf area index.

His work in Climatology addresses subjects such as Satellite, which are connected to disciplines such as Field experiment and Meteorology. His studies deal with areas such as Hydrology, Primary production, Carbon cycle and Latitude as well as Atmospheric sciences. His Radiative transfer research incorporates elements of Atmosphere, Scattering and Computational physics.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (31.58%)
  • Climatology (14.29%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (13.53%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2020)?

  • Remote sensing (31.58%)
  • Climatology (14.29%)
  • Phenology (3.76%)

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

Remote sensing, Climatology, Phenology, Hydrology and Physical geography are his primary areas of study. Ghassem R. Asrar undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Remote sensing and Air temperature in his work. His Climatology research focuses on Biome and how it connects with Atmospheric sciences, Northern Hemisphere and Seasonality.

Ghassem R. Asrar has included themes like Cross-sectional study, Vegetation and Extreme weather in his Phenology study. His Vegetation research includes themes of Common spatial pattern and Growing season. His study on Physical geography also encompasses disciplines like

  • Urban ecosystem together with Magnitude, Spectroradiometer and Urban ecology,
  • Vegetation phenology that connect with fields like Satellite data.

Between 2016 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The surface urban heat island response to urban expansion: A panel analysis for the conterminous United States (93 citations)
  • A global record of annual urban dynamics (1992-2013) from nighttime lights (70 citations)
  • Response of vegetation phenology to urbanization in the conterminous United States (59 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Quantum mechanics

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Urban area, Remote sensing, Carbon cycle and Urban planning. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Standard deviation, Seasonality, Gross primary productivity and Understory. His Remote sensing study incorporates themes from Satellite and Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Manure management and Manure in addition to Carbon cycle. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Manure management, focusing on Environmental protection and, on occasion, Spatial variability, Physical geography and Urban climatology. His Urban planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Cartography, Quantile and Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.
