Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Remote sensing

Mark A. Vaughan focuses on Lidar, Remote sensing, Environmental science, Meteorology and Aerosol. His study in Lidar is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ice cloud, Algorithm, Troposphere and Backscatter. His Backscatter study combines topics in areas such as Mineral dust, Infrared, Depolarization ratio and Cloud physics.

His research in Remote sensing intersects with topics in Field of view, Scanner and Ice crystals. His Radiation budget study, which is part of a larger body of work in Meteorology, is frequently linked to Early results, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study looks at the relationship between Aerosol and topics such as Climatology, which overlap with Correlation coefficient, Standard deviation, AERONET, Range and Standard error.

His most cited work include:

  • Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms (1277 citations)
  • THE CALIPSO MISSION: A Global 3D View of Aerosols and Clouds (620 citations)
  • The CALIPSO Automated Aerosol Classification and Lidar Ratio Selection Algorithm (592 citations)

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

Mark A. Vaughan spends much of his time researching Lidar, Remote sensing, Environmental science, Aerosol and Meteorology. His work deals with themes such as Extinction, Daytime, Optical depth and Backscatter, which intersect with Lidar. His Backscatter study incorporates themes from Algorithm, Calibration and Feature.

Mark A. Vaughan works mostly in the field of Remote sensing, limiting it down to concerns involving Ice cloud and, occasionally, Cloud top. His study in the field of Aerosol extinction and AERONET is also linked to topics like Context and Spectroradiometer. His Meteorology research incorporates themes from Radiometer, Remote sensing, Cloud cover, Cloud physics and Orthogonal polarization spectral imaging.

  • Environmental science (62.94%)
  • Remote sensing (73.53%)

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

Mark A. Vaughan mainly focuses on Lidar, Environmental science, Remote sensing, Aerosol and Atmospheric sciences. His work carried out in the field of Lidar brings together such families of science as Cirrus, Opacity, Extinction, Backscatter and Radiative transfer. His Backscatter research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Algorithm, Photomultiplier and Feature.

His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Snow, Calibration, Troposphere and Ice crystals. His Aerosol study necessitates a more in-depth grasp of Meteorology. His work investigates the relationship between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Aerosol extinction that intersect with problems in Spatial distribution, Atmospheric layer and AERONET.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The CALIPSO Version 4 Automated Aerosol Classification and Lidar Ratio Selection Algorithm (96 citations)
  • Extinction and optical depth retrievals for CALIPSO's Version 4 data release (47 citations)
  • CALIPSO lidar level 3 aerosol profile product: version 3 algorithm design. (38 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Machine learning

His main research concerns Lidar, Environmental science, Aerosol, Remote sensing and Atmospheric sciences. His Lidar research incorporates elements of Cirrus, Opacity, Extinction, Backscatter and Daytime. His work deals with themes such as Algorithm and Calibration, Radiometric calibration, which intersect with Backscatter.

Mark A. Vaughan focuses mostly in the field of Daytime, narrowing it down to topics relating to Stratosphere and, in certain cases, Cloud fraction, Troposphere, Tropospheric aerosol and Smoke. In his work, he performs multidisciplinary research in Environmental science and Atmosphere. Mark A. Vaughan usually deals with Atmospheric sciences and limits it to topics linked to Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer and Data products, Aerosol extinction, AERONET and Northern Hemisphere.
