His work in the fields of Volcano, such as Volcanic ash, intersects with other areas such as Mass concentration.
His research integrates issues of Glacier and Hydrology in his study of Storm.
His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Haze and Atmospheric dust.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Remote sensing and Troposphere.
His most cited work include:
- Airborne observations of the Eyjafjalla volcano ash cloud over Europe during air space closure in April and May 2010 (233 citations)
- The Effect of Rotation and Surface Friction on Orographic Drag (128 citations)
- Nonlinear Flow Past an Elliptic Mountain Ridge (99 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Haraldur Ólafsson spends much of his time researching Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Mesoscale meteorology and Storm.
His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Orography, Precipitation and Climate model.
The Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Volcano, Dust storm, Aerosol and Arctic.
His work on Wind speed, Planetary boundary layer, Orographic lift and Turbulence as part of general Meteorology research is frequently linked to Terrain, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
