1999 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Statistics

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Continental shelf, Wind stress, Upwelling and Climatology. All of his Oceanography and Current and Barotropic fluid investigations are sub-components of the entire Oceanography study. The Continental shelf study combines topics in areas such as Stratification and Meteorology.

His Wind stress research includes elements of Submarine pipeline and Sea level. His Upwelling study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ocean dynamics, Ocean current, Circulation and Standard deviation. He interconnects Coastal sea and Atmospheric pressure in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His most cited work include:

  • On the Structure and Dynamics of Monthly Mean Sea Level Anomalies along the Pacific Coast of North and South America (354 citations)
  • Some Three-Dimensional Characteristics of Low-Frequency Current Fluctuations near the Oregon Coast (250 citations)
  • Seasonal cycles of currents, temperatures, winds, and sea level over the northeast pacific continental shelf: 35°N to 48°N (234 citations)

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

John S. Allen spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Climatology, Continental shelf, Wind stress and Upwelling. His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as Bathymetry, overlaps with other areas such as Phytoplankton. His Climatology research integrates issues from Atmospheric model, Atmospheric sciences and Boundary value problem.

His studies deal with areas such as Stratification, Hydrography, Ocean dynamics, Barotropic fluid and Current as well as Continental shelf. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Submarine pipeline, Latitude, Forcing, Sea level and Downwelling. His work focuses on many connections between Upwelling and other disciplines, such as Jet, that overlap with his field of interest in Ekman transport.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (34.19%)
  • Climatology (34.19%)
  • Continental shelf (33.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2015)?

  • Climatology (34.19%)
  • Ocean current (19.66%)
  • Oceanography (34.19%)

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

John S. Allen mainly focuses on Climatology, Ocean current, Oceanography, Upwelling and Continental shelf. His research links Data assimilation with Climatology. His Ocean current research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Meteorology and Geostrophic wind.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Predictability and Oceanography. His Upwelling research incorporates themes from Wind stress, Front and Forcing. His research in Continental shelf intersects with topics in Altimeter and Boundary value problem.

Between 2005 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Forcing a three‐dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive‐equation model for application in the surf zone: 1. Formulation (54 citations)
  • One-, two- and three-phase viscosity treatments for basaltic lava flows. (50 citations)
  • Forcing a three‐dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive‐equation model for application in the surf zone: 2. Application to DUCK94 (46 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • Meteorology

John S. Allen mostly deals with Data assimilation, Meteorology, Breaking wave, Regional Ocean Modeling System and Sea surface temperature. He has included themes like Initial value problem, Shallow water equations, Mathematical analysis and Forcing in his Data assimilation study. The concepts of his Meteorology study are interwoven with issues in Wind stress, Stratification, Instability, Surf zone and Covariance.

His Breaking wave study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mechanics and Mean flow. Regional Ocean Modeling System is a subfield of Climatology that John S. Allen tackles. His Sea surface temperature research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Geostrophic wind, Geostrophic current, Ocean current and Upwelling.
