Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Tropical cyclone
  • Oceanography

Mark D. Powell mainly focuses on Meteorology, Wind speed, Storm, Environmental science and Storm surge. In his research, Maximum sustained wind is intimately related to Wind stress, which falls under the overarching field of Meteorology. Mark D. Powell works mostly in the field of Storm, limiting it down to concerns involving Rainband and, occasionally, Geophysics and Hurricane Floyd.

He integrates Environmental science with Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting model in his research. His studies in Storm surge integrate themes in fields like Channel, Tropical cyclone, Climatology and Wind wave. His Wind shear research incorporates themes from Roughness length and Wind profile power law.

His most cited work include:

  • Reduced drag coefficient for high wind speeds in tropical cyclones (1016 citations)
  • The HRD real-time hurricane wind analysis system (415 citations)
  • A Basin to Channel-Scale Unstructured Grid Hurricane Storm Surge Model Applied to Southern Louisiana (343 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Meteorology, Environmental science, Climatology, Storm and Tropical cyclone. His is doing research in Wind speed, Hurricane Research Division, Maximum sustained wind, Wind shear and Wind direction, both of which are found in Meteorology. His work deals with themes such as Tropical cyclone rainfall forecasting, Inflow, Wind wave and Storm surge, which intersect with Climatology.

Mark D. Powell has researched Storm surge in several fields, including Flood myth and Surge. Mark D. Powell usually deals with Storm and limits it to topics linked to Shore and Storm track. His Tropical cyclone study combines topics in areas such as Cyclone, Tropical cyclone scales and Central dense overcast.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Meteorology (69.14%)
  • Environmental science (43.21%)
  • Climatology (40.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2018)?

  • Meteorology (69.14%)
  • Environmental science (43.21%)
  • Tropical cyclone (32.10%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Meteorology, Environmental science, Tropical cyclone, Storm and Climatology. As a member of one scientific family, Mark D. Powell mostly works in the field of Meteorology, focusing on Wind stress and, on occasion, Roughness length and Forcing. His Tropical cyclone research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Maximum sustained wind and Hurricane Research Division.

Many of his research projects under Storm are closely connected to River delta, Radiation stress, Probabilistic logic and Commission with River delta, Radiation stress, Probabilistic logic and Commission, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Data assimilation and Storm surge. His Wind speed research includes elements of Flood control and Mesonet.

Between 2008 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A High-Resolution Coupled Riverine Flow, Tide, Wind, Wind Wave, and Storm Surge Model for Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Part I: Model Development and Validation (298 citations)
  • A High-Resolution Coupled Riverine Flow, Tide, Wind, Wind Wave, and Storm Surge Model for Southern Louisiana and Mississippi. Part II: Synoptic Description and Analysis of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (206 citations)
  • Wind and waves in extreme hurricanes (181 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Tropical cyclone
  • Oceanography

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Storm surge, Climatology, Meteorology, Storm and Wind speed. He works mostly in the field of Storm surge, limiting it down to topics relating to Flood myth and, in certain cases, Barrier island. His Climatology study also includes fields such as

  • Wind wave which intersects with area such as Tropical cyclone,
  • Continental shelf which intersects with area such as Hindcast.

Mark D. Powell is involved in the study of Meteorology that focuses on Wind shear in particular. He focuses mostly in the field of Wind shear, narrowing it down to topics relating to Wind profile power law and, in certain cases, Atmospheric sciences. His research investigates the link between Storm and topics such as Shore that cross with problems in Storm track, Water level and Sea level.
