Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Thermodynamics

Kelvin J. Richards mainly investigates Oceanography, Turbulence, Climatology, Roughness length and Plankton. His studies in Oceanography integrate themes in fields like Eddy diffusion and New production. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Wavelength and Satellite altimetry.

His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Equator and Current. His study in Plankton is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Phytoplankton, Habitat, Zooplankton, Temperature salinity diagrams and Neutral buoyancy. His Mesoscale meteorology study combines topics in areas such as Downwelling, Upwelling and Eddy.

His most cited work include:

  • Turbulent shear flows over low hills (305 citations)
  • The formation of ripples and dunes on an erodible bed (225 citations)
  • Mechanisms for vertical nutrient transport within a North Atlantic mesoscale eddy (219 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Oceanography, Mechanics, Thermocline and Sea surface temperature. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Equator and Advection. His Oceanography research incorporates themes from Phytoplankton and Mixing.

The Mechanics study combines topics in areas such as Meteorology and Dissipation. His study looks at the relationship between Thermocline and fields such as Stratification, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His research in Sea surface temperature intersects with topics in Ocean general circulation model, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Tropical instability waves.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (33.33%)
  • Oceanography (30.83%)
  • Mechanics (18.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Oceanography (30.83%)
  • Climatology (33.33%)
  • Thermocline (17.50%)

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

Kelvin J. Richards mostly deals with Oceanography, Climatology, Thermocline, Atmospheric sciences and Mechanics. Kelvin J. Richards interconnects Phytoplankton, Photic zone, Marine ecosystem and Ocean gyre in the investigation of issues within Oceanography. Kelvin J. Richards has included themes like Advection and Buoyancy in his Climatology study.

His Thermocline research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Turbulence and El Niño Southern Oscillation. His Turbulence research integrates issues from Stratification, Thermal diffusivity and Equator. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Tropics, New production, Dispersion, Meteorology and Mixing.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Does eddy-eddy interaction control surface phytoplankton distribution and carbon export in the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre? (92 citations)
  • The Southwest Pacific Ocean circulation and climate experiment (SPICE) (78 citations)
  • Dynamics of the Indian-Ocean oxygen minimum zones (69 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ecology
  • Thermodynamics

Kelvin J. Richards mainly focuses on Climatology, Oceanography, Thermocline, Sea surface temperature and Eddy. Kelvin J. Richards has researched Climatology in several fields, including Eddy diffusion, Instability and Buoyancy. The concepts of his Oceanography study are interwoven with issues in Phytoplankton, Photic zone and Ocean gyre.

Kelvin J. Richards combines subjects such as South Pacific convergence zone, Stratification and El Niño Southern Oscillation with his study of Thermocline. His Eddy study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Energy budget, Barotropic fluid, Meander and Mesoscale meteorology. He works mostly in the field of Mesoscale meteorology, limiting it down to topics relating to Flow and, in certain cases, Atmospheric sciences, as a part of the same area of interest.
