Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

His main research concerns Oceanography, Sea ice, Water mass, Continental shelf and Current. His Glacial period research extends to the thematically linked field of Oceanography. His study of Sea ice thickness is a part of Sea ice.

His Water mass study incorporates themes from Sedimentary rock and Pelagic zone. As part of the same scientific family, Masaaki Wakatsuchi usually focuses on Continental shelf, concentrating on Surface water and intersecting with Total organic carbon and Mooring. Masaaki Wakatsuchi focuses mostly in the field of Boundary current, narrowing it down to matters related to Ocean gyre and, in some cases, Climatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Antarctic Bottom Water production by intense sea-ice formation in the Cape Darnley polynya (145 citations)
  • Near-surface circulation and tidal currents of the Okhotsk Sea observed with satellite-tracked drifters (133 citations)
  • Distribution and formation of Okhotsk Sea Intermediate Water: An analysis of isopycnal climatological data (105 citations)

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

Oceanography, Sea ice, Climatology, Arctic ice pack and Sea ice thickness are his primary areas of study. His Oceanography study which covers Ocean gyre that intersects with Boundary current. His work on Ocean current as part of general Climatology study is frequently connected to Seasonality, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

His Arctic ice pack study focuses on Antarctic sea ice in particular. His research in Water mass intersects with topics in Biogeochemical cycle, Salinity, Subarctic climate and Thermohaline circulation. His research integrates issues of Mooring, Seawater and Anticyclone in his study of Current.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (74.04%)
  • Sea ice (47.12%)
  • Climatology (32.69%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2017)?

  • Oceanography (74.04%)
  • Ocean gyre (7.69%)
  • Climatology (32.69%)

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

Masaaki Wakatsuchi mostly deals with Oceanography, Ocean gyre, Climatology, Thermohaline circulation and Sea ice. Masaaki Wakatsuchi integrates Oceanography with Cape in his study. Boundary current, Submarine pipeline and Canyon is closely connected to Continental shelf in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ocean gyre.

His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Stratification and Hydrography. His Thermohaline circulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hindcast, Atmospheric sciences, Vertical mixing and Surface water. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Current and Vertical displacement.

Between 2011 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Antarctic Bottom Water production by intense sea-ice formation in the Cape Darnley polynya (145 citations)
  • Intensive mixing along an island chain controls oceanic biogeochemical cycles (41 citations)
  • Freshening and dense shelf water reduction in the Okhotsk Sea linked with sea ice decline (30 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

Masaaki Wakatsuchi mainly focuses on Oceanography, Sea ice, Hydrography, Climatology and Subarctic climate. His work on Salinity and Biogeochemistry as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to Box model, Circumpolar deep water and Advection, bridging the gap between disciplines. His studies in Salinity integrate themes in fields like Ocean current and Ocean gyre.

Masaaki Wakatsuchi regularly links together related areas like Water mass in his Biogeochemistry studies. The concepts of his Hydrography study are interwoven with issues in Anomaly and Lead. His Subarctic climate study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Biogeochemical cycle.
