Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Greenhouse gas

His primary scientific interests are in Atmospheric sciences, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Climatology and Ozone. His research on Atmospheric sciences frequently links to adjacent areas such as Meteorology. His research in Troposphere intersects with topics in Oceanography, Upwelling, Atmosphere and Northern Hemisphere.

His study in the field of Southern Hemisphere is also linked to topics like TRACER. In his research, Equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine, Chemistry climate model and Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion is intimately related to Environmental chemistry, which falls under the overarching field of Ozone. His Greenhouse gas research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ice core and Radiative forcing.

His most cited work include:

  • Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and in Radiative Forcing (3610 citations)
  • Law Dome CO2, CH4 and N2O ice core records extended to 2000 years BP (393 citations)
  • Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion: 2002 (318 citations)

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

James W. Elkins mainly investigates Atmospheric sciences, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Climatology and Meteorology. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Atmosphere, Ozone and Greenhouse gas. James W. Elkins has included themes like Sink and Upwelling in his Troposphere study.

The various areas that James W. Elkins examines in his Stratosphere study include Atmospheric chemistry, Middle latitudes, Water vapor and Analytical chemistry. James W. Elkins has researched Climatology in several fields, including Mixing ratio and Altitude. His Meteorology research focuses on Satellite and how it connects with Remote sensing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (50.84%)
  • Troposphere (29.05%)
  • Stratosphere (29.05%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (50.84%)
  • Troposphere (29.05%)
  • Ozone (23.46%)

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

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Troposphere, Ozone, Atmosphere and Trace gas. His research in the fields of Ozone layer overlaps with other disciplines such as Continuous data. As a part of the same scientific family, James W. Elkins mostly works in the field of Ozone layer, focusing on Ozone depletion and, on occasion, Climate change.

His Troposphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Photochemistry, Chloroform and Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Ozone brings together such families of science as Northern Hemisphere and Stratosphere. His research integrates issues of Atmospheric circulation, Water vapor and Atmospheric chemistry in his study of Trace gas.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • An unexpected and persistent increase in global emissions of ozone-depleting CFC-11 (138 citations)
  • STATE OF THE CLIMATE IN 2017 (67 citations)
  • A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks (54 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Climate change

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Greenhouse gas, Ozone layer and Tropical tropopause. State, Download, Sea ice concentration, Environmental monitoring and Index are fields of study that intersect with his Climatology research. He combines subjects such as Marine boundary layer, Chemistry climate model and Sink with his study of Atmospheric sciences.

The concepts of his Greenhouse gas study are interwoven with issues in Trace gas, Climate change and Ozone depletion. His Ozone layer study contributes to a more complete understanding of Ozone.
