Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Climatology
  • Meteorology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Oceanography, Climatology, Hydrography, Boundary current and Ocean current. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Altimeter and Eddy. Johann R. E. Lutjeharms combines subjects such as Thermal, Front, Geophysics and Upwelling with his study of Climatology.

His Boundary current research incorporates themes from Ocean dynamics, North Atlantic Deep Water and Indian ocean. His Ocean current research also works with subjects such as

  • Mesoscale meteorology most often made with reference to Thermohaline circulation,
  • Southern Hemisphere which intersects with area such as Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole. His study in Water mass is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Subtropics and Ocean gyre.

His most cited work include:

  • On the role of the Agulhas system in ocean circulation and climate (370 citations)
  • The Agulhas Current (292 citations)
  • Indian‐Atlantic interocean exchange: Dynamics, estimation and impact (267 citations)

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

His main research concerns Oceanography, Climatology, Hydrography, Eddy and Current. His research in Agulhas current, Water mass, Ocean current, Boundary current and Mesoscale meteorology are components of Oceanography. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Subtropics and Altimeter.

His Hydrography research includes elements of Anticyclone, Hydrographic survey, Upwelling and Antarctic Intermediate Water. His research investigates the connection between Eddy and topics such as Ridge that intersect with issues in Sea-surface height. His research in Current intersects with topics in Circumpolar star, Continental shelf, Submarine pipeline and Geostrophic wind.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (80.50%)
  • Climatology (43.40%)
  • Hydrography (28.93%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2013)?

  • Oceanography (80.50%)
  • Current (23.27%)
  • Eddy (27.04%)

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

Oceanography, Current, Eddy, Hydrography and Climatology are his primary areas of study. His study in Oceanography focuses on Boundary current, Ocean current, Mesoscale meteorology, Water mass and Thermohaline circulation. His Current study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Circumpolar star, Geostrophic wind and Cruise.

As part of one scientific family, Johann R. E. Lutjeharms deals mainly with the area of Eddy, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ridge, and often Polar front, Subantarctic Mode Water, Zonal and meridional, Bathymetry and Evaporite. The various areas that Johann R. E. Lutjeharms examines in his Hydrography study include Drifter and Front. His Climatology research integrates issues from Tourbillon and Structural basin.

Between 2007 and 2013, his most popular works were:

  • On the role of the Agulhas system in ocean circulation and climate (370 citations)
  • Increase in Agulhas leakage due to poleward shift of Southern Hemisphere westerlies (222 citations)
  • Agulhas leakage dynamics affects decadal variability in Atlantic overturning circulation (209 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Mechanics
  • Meteorology

Johann R. E. Lutjeharms mainly focuses on Oceanography, Thermohaline circulation, Ocean current, Boundary current and Climatology. His Water mass and Mesoscale meteorology study are his primary interests in Oceanography. His Water mass research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Current, Hydrography, Foraging and Predation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including North Atlantic Deep Water, Climate change and Southern Hemisphere. Johann R. E. Lutjeharms works mostly in the field of Boundary current, limiting it down to topics relating to Eddy and, in certain cases, Channel, Agulhas current and Salient. Johann R. E. Lutjeharms interconnects Tourbillon and Dynamic height in the investigation of issues within Climatology.
