Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Turbulence
  • Meteorology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Turbulence, Meteorology, Mechanics, Dissipation and Turbulence kinetic energy. James N. Moum integrates Turbulence and Flux in his research. His research integrates issues of Wave propagation, Geophysics and Kinetic energy in his study of Meteorology.

In his study, Turbulent diffusion is strongly linked to Thermal diffusivity, which falls under the umbrella field of Dissipation. His studies deal with areas such as Thermocline and Atmospheric sciences as well as Turbulence kinetic energy. As part of the same scientific family, James N. Moum usually focuses on Thermocline, concentrating on Richardson number and intersecting with Internal wave.

His most cited work include:

  • From tides to mixing along the Hawaiian ridge. (275 citations)
  • Structure and Generation of Turbulence at Interfaces Strained by Internal Solitary Waves Propagating Shoreward over the Continental Shelf (275 citations)
  • The Efficiency of Mixing in Turbulent Patches: Inferences from Direct Simulations and Microstructure Observations (266 citations)

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

James N. Moum mainly investigates Turbulence, Internal wave, Meteorology, Dissipation and Atmospheric sciences. His work carried out in the field of Turbulence brings together such families of science as Climatology, Mixed layer and Geophysics. His Internal wave research includes themes of Wavelength, Wave propagation, Gravity wave, Wind wave and Waves and shallow water.

His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Isopycnal and Ocean current. James N. Moum focuses mostly in the field of Dissipation, narrowing it down to matters related to Computational physics and, in some cases, Temperature gradient. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates themes from Madden–Julian oscillation, Hydrography and Equator.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Turbulence (52.78%)
  • Internal wave (21.67%)
  • Meteorology (20.56%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Turbulence (52.78%)
  • Oceanography (18.33%)
  • Environmental science (15.56%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Turbulence, Oceanography, Environmental science, Geophysics and Mixing. James N. Moum has included themes like Sea surface temperature, Mixed layer, Atmospheric sciences and Buoyancy in his Turbulence study. His Mixed layer research focuses on subjects like Stratification, which are linked to Pressure gradient.

He has researched Atmospheric sciences in several fields, including Boundary layer, Precipitation and Dissipation. In the subject of general Oceanography, his work in Bay, Tropical Atlantic, Thermohaline circulation and Shoaling and schooling is often linked to Oil spill, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His research on Geophysics also deals with topics like

  • Gravity together with Pacific ocean,
  • Tropical instability waves, which have a strong connection to Vertical shear.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • On the Future of Argo: A Global, Full-Depth, Multi-Disciplinary Array (58 citations)
  • The tropical Atlantic observing system (29 citations)
  • Self-organized criticality in geophysical turbulence. (24 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Optics
  • Thermodynamics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Turbulence, Environmental science, Sea surface temperature, Atmospheric sciences and Oceanography. His Turbulence study combines topics in areas such as Stratification and Geophysics. James N. Moum combines subjects such as Thermocline, Climatology, Shoal and Instability with his study of Stratification.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Argo and Richardson number. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Madden–Julian oscillation, Pycnocline, Mixed layer and Precipitation. His Mixed layer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Daytime, Dissipation, Buoyancy and Sunrise.
