Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Infrared

Her main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Cloud physics, Aerosol and Remote sensing. Jennifer M. Comstock combines subjects such as Ice nucleus and Precipitation with her study of Atmospheric sciences. Her research integrates issues of Climate model and Liquid water content in her study of Meteorology.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Cloud physics, Lidar, Optical depth, Atmospheric radiation and Retrieval algorithm is strongly linked to Cirrus. Her research investigates the link between Aerosol and topics such as Convection that cross with problems in Supersaturation and Condensation. Her Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Radiative transfer, Ice cloud, Infrared and Atmospheric physics.

Her most cited work include:

  • Dust and Biological Aerosols from the Sahara and Asia Influence Precipitation in the Western U.S. (361 citations)
  • Dominant role by vertical wind shear in regulating aerosol effects on deep convective clouds (208 citations)
  • Ground‐based lidar and radar remote sensing of tropical cirrus clouds at Nauru Island: Cloud statistics and radiative impacts (201 citations)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Remote sensing, Cirrus and Aerosol. Her Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Climatology, Convection, Ice nucleus, Precipitation and Radiative transfer. Her study in Meteorology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cloud top and Lidar.

Her study in the fields of Radiometer under the domain of Remote sensing overlaps with other disciplines such as Range. The various areas that Jennifer M. Comstock examines in her Cirrus study include Troposphere, Cloud physics and Water vapor. Her work on Cloud microphysics and Radiative forcing as part of her general Aerosol study is frequently connected to Pollution and Mixed phase, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (52.88%)
  • Meteorology (42.31%)
  • Remote sensing (32.69%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (52.88%)
  • Precipitation (18.27%)
  • Aerosol (28.85%)

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

Her main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation, Aerosol, Meteorology and Convection. Her Atmospheric sciences study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Cloud condensation nuclei. Her Precipitation research incorporates themes from Condensation, Radiative transfer and Atmospheric radiation.

Her Aerosol study incorporates themes from Extinction and Raman spectroscopy. She mostly deals with Weather and climate in her studies of Meteorology. Her research in Convection intersects with topics in Lidar, Attenuation and Supersaturation.

Between 2016 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Substantial convection and precipitation enhancements by ultrafine aerosol particles (137 citations)
  • Cloud Characteristics, Thermodynamic Controls and Radiative Impacts During the Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/5) Experiment (21 citations)
  • The ARM Radar Network: At the Leading Edge of Cloud and Precipitation Observations (5 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Infrared
  • Thermodynamics

Her primary scientific interests are in Precipitation, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Aerosol and Radar network. Her Troposphere research extends to Precipitation, which is thematically connected. Atmospheric sciences and Pollution are two areas of study in which Jennifer M. Comstock engages in interdisciplinary work.

Her research ties Radiative transfer and Meteorology together. Her work on Cloud condensation nuclei as part of general Aerosol study is frequently linked to Particle number, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. There are a combination of areas like Leading edge and Weather and climate integrated together with her Radar network study.
