Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

John W. Meriwether mainly investigates Thermosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Geophysics, Meteorology and Mesosphere. The various areas that John W. Meriwether examines in his Thermosphere study include Aeronomy, Latitude, Airglow, Zonal and meridional and Winds aloft. John W. Meriwether does research in Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Middle latitudes specifically.

John W. Meriwether has researched Geophysics in several fields, including Gravity wave and Altitude. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Meteorology, concentrating on F region and frequently concerns with Drag. In general Mesosphere study, his work on Mesopause often relates to the realm of Dissipation, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

His most cited work include:

  • Revised global model of thermosphere winds using satellite and ground‐based observations (561 citations)
  • An empirical model of the Earth's horizontal wind fields: HWM07 (402 citations)
  • An update to the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM): The quiet time thermosphere (256 citations)

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

John W. Meriwether spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Airglow and Environmental science. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Wind speed, F region, Climatology and Latitude. His studies in Thermosphere integrate themes in fields like Aeronomy, Middle latitudes, Fabry–Pérot interferometer and Solstice.

His research investigates the connection between Ionosphere and topics such as Meteorology that intersect with issues in Remote sensing. John W. Meriwether interconnects Brightness, Astrophysics, Emission spectrum and Atomic physics in the investigation of issues within Airglow. His Geophysics study also includes

  • Gravity wave which is related to area like Altitude,
  • Mesopause which connect with Atmospheric tide.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (56.20%)
  • Thermosphere (43.80%)
  • Ionosphere (26.45%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (56.20%)
  • Ionosphere (26.45%)
  • Environmental science (22.31%)

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

John W. Meriwether focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Ionosphere, Environmental science, Thermosphere and Airglow. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Amplitude, Midnight and F region. His F region research includes elements of International Reference Ionosphere and Equator.

His work deals with themes such as Meteorology and Gravitational field, which intersect with Ionosphere. His Thermosphere research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Wave propagation, Optics, Gravitational wave and Fabry–Pérot interferometer. His Airglow study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wavelength, Computational physics, Interference and Doppler effect.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • An update to the Horizontal Wind Model (HWM): The quiet time thermosphere (256 citations)
  • Thermospheric poleward wind surge at midlatitudes during great storm intervals (42 citations)
  • Climatologies of nighttime thermospheric winds and temperatures from Fabry‐Perot interferometer measurements: From solar minimum to solar maximum (28 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

John W. Meriwether mainly focuses on Meteorology, Environmental science, Surge, Middle latitudes and Zonal and meridional. His research in Meteorology intersects with topics in Astronomical interferometer, Doppler effect and Polar. The Surge study combines topics in areas such as Amplitude, Storm, Wind speed and Equinox.

His Middle latitudes research is classified as research in Climatology. His Zonal and meridional study contributes to a more complete understanding of Atmospheric sciences. John W. Meriwether integrates Solar minimum and Airglow in his studies.
