Jan A. Elbers

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Ecosystem
• Meteorology
• Climate change

Jan Elbers spends much of his time researching Eddy covariance, Dry season, Rainforest, Remote sensing and Latent heat. His FluxNet study in the realm of Eddy covariance connects with subjects such as Quality management. His Dry season research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Tower, Energy balance, Tropics, Seasonality and Amazon rainforest.

His studies deal with areas such as Wet season, Productivity, Biomass, Diurnal temperature variation and Carbon dioxide as well as Rainforest. His research investigates the connection with Remote sensing and areas like Sensible heat which intersect with concerns in Terrain. His Anemometer research integrates issues from Calibration and Water vapor.

His most cited work include:

• Estimates of the annual net carbon and water exchange of forests: the EUROFLUX methodology (1562 citations)
• A system to measure surface fluxes of momentum, sensible heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide (694 citations)
• Seasonality of ecosystem respiration and gross primary production as derived from FLUXNET measurements (562 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Meteorology, Ecosystem and Sensible heat. As a part of the same scientific study, Jan Elbers usually deals with the Atmospheric sciences, concentrating on Growing season and frequently concerns with Carbon sequestration. He has included themes like Anemometer and Primary production in his Eddy covariance study.

His Planetary boundary layer, Urban heat island, Wind speed and Inversion study in the realm of Meteorology interacts with subjects such as Surface. His Ecosystem research incorporates themes from Productivity, Biomass and Taiga. His research integrates issues of Energy balance, Spatial variability, Latent heat, Available energy and Remote sensing in his study of Sensible heat.

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

Jan Elbers mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Eddy covariance, Energy balance and Ecosystem. In his study, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Remote sensing, FluxNet and Growing season is inextricably linked to Phenology, which falls within the broad field of Atmospheric sciences. His Meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Evapotranspiration and Water resources.

His Eddy covariance research incorporates elements of Atmospheric methane, Water vapor and City centre. His research on Energy balance also deals with topics like

• Energy budget and related Forestry and Atmospheric research,
• Leaf area index, which have a strong connection to Sensible heat, Temperate climate, Latent heat, Crop yield and Atmospheric model. The various areas that Jan Elbers examines in his Ecosystem study include Tributary and Taiga.

Between 2013 and 2020, his most popular works were:

• Temporal and spatial variability of urban heat island and thermal comfort within the Rotterdam agglomeration (141 citations)
• Matching the phenology of Net Ecosystem Exchange and vegetation indices estimated with MODIS and FLUXNET in-situ observations (58 citations)
• Evaluating the performance of commonly used gas analysers for methane eddy covariance flux measurements: the InGOS inter-comparison field experiment (36 citations)

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

• Ecosystem
• Meteorology
• Statistics

His primary areas of investigation include Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Phenology and Thermal comfort. His study in the fields of Atmospheric methane and Water vapor under the domain of Meteorology overlaps with other disciplines such as Dilution and Flux. His Atmospheric sciences study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as FluxNet.

His research in Eddy covariance intersects with topics in Sensible heat, Energy balance, Temperate climate, Leaf area index and Latent heat. His studies in Phenology integrate themes in fields like Correlation coefficient, Growing season, Crop yield, Remote sensing and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. As a part of the same scientific family, Jan Elbers mostly works in the field of Thermal comfort, focusing on Daytime and, on occasion, Climate change and Spatial variability.
