Overview

Joan Cuxart is affiliated with the University of the Balearic Islands in Spain. Their research centers on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with a strong focus on meteorological phenomena and simulations, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, and climate variability and models. Their work also touches on wind and air flow studies, fluid dynamics and turbulent flows, atmospheric aerosols and clouds, and plant responses to elevated CO2.

Their frequent collaborators include Aaron Boone, Daniel Martínez-Villagrasa, María A. Jiménez, Martin Best, and Patrick Le Moigne.

Joan Cuxart has contributed to multiple scientific journals, primarily publishing in:

  • Boundary-Layer Meteorology
  • International Journal of Climatology
  • Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society
  • Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
  • Atmosphere

Their recent papers include:

  • Evapotranspiration over Land from a Boundary-Layer Meteorology Perspective, 2020, Boundary-Layer Meteorology
  • Surface-Energy-Balance Closure over Land: A Review, 2020, Boundary-Layer Meteorology
  • Evapotranspiration Acquired with Remote Sensing Thermal-Based Algorithms: A State-of-the-Art Review, 2022, Remote Sensing
  • A Collaborative Effort to Better Understand, Measure, and Model Atmospheric Exchange Processes over Mountains, 2022, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
  • Surface energy balance and flux partitioning of annual crops in southwestern France, 2021, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

Joan Cuxart has also published a book chapter with innsbruck university press eBooks, titled Multi-scale transport and exchange processes in the atmosphere over mountains, in 2020.
