- Astronomy
Environmental science, Meteorology, Lightning, Thunderstorm and Climatology are his primary areas of study.
His work on Storm and Lightning detection as part of general Meteorology research is often related to Monte Carlo method, Curvature and Spacetime, thus linking different fields of science.
His research integrates issues of Noise and Remote sensing in his study of Lightning.
His studies in Remote sensing integrate themes in fields like Image sensor, Detector and Latitude.
When carried out as part of a general Thunderstorm research project, his work on Terrestrial gamma-ray flash is frequently linked to work in Relativistic runaway electron avalanche, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His research investigates the connection between Climatology and topics such as Atmospheric electricity that intersect with problems in Air mass.
His most cited work include:
- Global frequency and distribution of lightning as observed from space by the Optical Transient Detector (951 citations)
- Discovery of Intense Gamma-Ray Flashes of Atmospheric Origin (604 citations)
- Combined Satellite- and Surface-Based Estimation of the Intracloud Cloud-to-Ground Lightning Ratio over the Continental United States (275 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Lightning, Meteorology, Thunderstorm, Environmental science and Remote sensing.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Flash, Gamma ray and Geostationary orbit in addition to Lightning.
In his study, Radiance is inextricably linked to Satellite, which falls within the broad field of Meteorology.
His Thunderstorm research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Extreme weather, Graupel, Ice crystals, Tornado and Lightning strike.
His research on Remote sensing also deals with topics like
- Detector and related Transient,
- Light curve most often made with reference to Very low frequency.
