Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oxygen
  • Atmosphere

Atmospheric sciences, Atmosphere, Atmospheric chemistry, Ozone and Environmental chemistry are his primary areas of study. His Atmospheric sciences study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmosphere of Mars and Oceanography, Marine biology. The Atmosphere study combines topics in areas such as Astrobiology, Venus, Oxygen and Troposphere.

His research in Atmospheric chemistry intersects with topics in Climatology, Trace gas, Anoxic waters, Seawater and Microbial respiration. Michael B. McElroy has included themes like Atmospheric models, Stratosphere and Bromide in his Ozone study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nitrifying bacteria, Nitrification, Mineralogy and Chemical composition.

His most cited work include:

  • Tropospheric chemistry: A global perspective (1551 citations)
  • Extreme ultraviolet observations from Voyager 1 encounter with Jupiter (673 citations)
  • Production of NO2- and N2O by Nitrifying Bacteria at Reduced Concentrations of Oxygen (641 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Atmosphere, Astrobiology, Stratosphere and Atmospheric chemistry. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Climatology and Atmospheric models. His research integrates issues of Mixing ratio, Nitrogen, Water vapor, Ionosphere and Atomic physics in his study of Atmosphere.

His work in the fields of Astrobiology, such as Atmosphere of Mars, Atmosphere of Venus and Venus, overlaps with other areas such as Secondary atmosphere. His Ozone depletion study, which is part of a larger body of work in Stratosphere, is frequently linked to Diffusion, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his works, Michael B. McElroy performs multidisciplinary study on Atmospheric chemistry and Air pollution.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (34.69%)
  • Atmosphere (32.14%)
  • Astrobiology (21.43%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (34.69%)
  • Beijing (4.08%)
  • Climatology (8.16%)

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

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Beijing, Climatology, Stratosphere and Greenhouse gas. His research investigates the link between Atmospheric sciences and topics such as Meteorology that cross with problems in Electricity. His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Wind speed and Ozone.

His Ozone research includes elements of Daytime and Mixing ratio. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Stratosphere, focusing on Middle latitudes and, on occasion, Advection and Latitude. His work on Tropospheric ozone is typically connected to Dimensional modeling, Support system and Three dimensional model as part of general Troposphere study, connecting several disciplines of science.

Between 1999 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Constraint of anthropogenic NO x emissions in China from different sectors: a new methodology using multiple satellite retrievals (127 citations)
  • CO 2 and its correlation with CO at a rural site near Beijing: implications for combustion efficiency in China (90 citations)
  • Variations of O 3 and CO in summertime at a rural site near Beijing (67 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Oxygen
  • Atmosphere

His primary areas of investigation include Beijing, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Ton and Meteorology. His Beijing research incorporates Satellite, Lightning, Magnitude, Local time and Planetary boundary layer. His work on Middle latitudes, Forcing and Atmospheric circulation as part of general Climatology research is frequently linked to Diffusion, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His research on Atmospheric sciences frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Monsoon. Among his Ton studies, you can observe a synthesis of other disciplines of science such as Electricity, Environmental engineering, Business as usual and Thermal energy storage. Many of his studies on Meteorology apply to Soil water as well.
