What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Climatology
- Ocean current
Klaus Wyrtki mainly focuses on Oceanography, Climatology, Ocean gyre, Indian ocean and Monsoon.
His research related to Thermocline, Ocean heat content, Wind stress, Pacific ocean and Current might be considered part of Oceanography.
His Current research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Jet, Equator, Subtropical Indian Ocean Dipole and Thermohaline circulation.
His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Tropical pacific, Flow, Sea level and Dynamic height.
His research integrates issues of Shear flow, Boundary current and Anticyclone in his study of Ocean gyre.
His study looks at the relationship between Monsoon and topics such as Physical oceanography, which overlap with Deep sea, Circumpolar star and Agulhas current.
His most cited work include:
- El Niño—The Dynamic Response of the Equatorial Pacific Oceanto Atmospheric Forcing (769 citations)
- Physical oceanography of the Southeast Asian waters (678 citations)
- Oceanographic atlas of the International Indian Ocean Expedition (633 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Climatology, Sea level, Pacific ocean and Ocean current.
His work in Oceanography addresses issues such as Ocean gyre, which are connected to fields such as Boundary current.
In general Climatology study, his work on Ocean surface topography, Sea surface temperature, Ocean heat content and Thermocline often relates to the realm of Environmental science, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
In his work, Bathythermograph is strongly intertwined with Dynamic height, which is a subfield of Sea level.
His Ocean current study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Mooring, Hydrography, Archipelago and Geophysics.
His study on Current also encompasses disciplines like
- Geostrophic wind which connect with Countercurrent exchange, Circulation and Water mass,
- Upwelling that connect with fields like Advection.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (63.33%)
- Climatology (55.56%)
- Sea level (34.44%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1981-2018)?
- Climatology (55.56%)
- Oceanography (63.33%)
- Sea level (34.44%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Klaus Wyrtki mostly deals with Climatology, Oceanography, Sea level, Environmental science and Pacific ocean.
Thermocline is the focus of his Climatology research.
Klaus Wyrtki combines Oceanography and El Niño in his studies.
His studies in Sea level integrate themes in fields like Altimeter, Sea surface temperature, Ocean heat content and Ocean surface topography.
His Pacific ocean study combines topics in areas such as Sea level anomaly, Geostrophic wind and Scale.
His study looks at the intersection of Current and topics like Circulation with Water mass.
Between 1981 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Water displacements in the Pacific and the genesis of El Nino cycles (359 citations)
- Mean Water and Current Structure during the Hawaii-to-Tahiti Shuttle Experiment (295 citations)
- Indonesian through flow and the associated pressure gradient (211 citations)
