The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Oceanography, Sea surface temperature, La Niña and Equator.
His Climatology research incorporates themes from Buoy and Tropical instability waves.
His work in Oceanography addresses issues such as High-Nutrient, low-chlorophyll, which are connected to fields such as Carbon dioxide, Algal bloom and Productivity.
In the subject of general Sea surface temperature, his work in Ocean heat content is often linked to Advection, thereby combining diverse domains of study.
The various areas that Michael J. McPhaden examines in his La Niña study include Climate change, Climate model, Global change and Extreme weather.
His Equator study incorporates themes from Wind stress, Zonal and meridional, Seasonality, Southern oscillation and Ocean current.
His most cited work include:
- Increasing frequency of extreme El Niño events due to greenhouse warming (1095 citations)
- Genesis and Evolution of the 1997-98 El Niño (1014 citations)
- ENSO as an integrating concept in earth science. (885 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Michael J. McPhaden spends much of his time researching Climatology, Oceanography, Sea surface temperature, Thermocline and Equator.
He focuses mostly in the field of Climatology, narrowing it down to matters related to Buoy and, in some cases, Meteorology.
His study in Ocean current, Upwelling, Tropical Atlantic, Indian ocean and Salinity are all subfields of Oceanography.
In general Sea surface temperature study, his work on Indian Ocean Dipole, Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and Pacific decadal oscillation often relates to the realm of Advection, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His Equator study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Current, Atmospheric sciences, Zonal and meridional and Kelvin wave.
His Kelvin wave study combines topics in areas such as Rossby wave and Wind wave.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (66.59%)
- Oceanography (31.73%)
- Sea surface temperature (24.04%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Climatology (66.59%)
- El Niño Southern Oscillation (10.82%)
- Oceanography (31.73%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Oceanography, Indian ocean and Forcing.
His study in Climatology concentrates on Sea surface temperature and La Niña.
Michael J. McPhaden has researched Sea surface temperature in several fields, including Thermocline, Madden–Julian oscillation and Greenhouse gas.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Tropical climate, Climate change and Earth system science in addition to El Niño Southern Oscillation.
He usually deals with Oceanography and limits it to topics linked to Indo-Pacific and Northern australia and Tropics.
His research in Indian ocean tackles topics such as Geophysics which are related to areas like Equatorial waves.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- El Niño–Southern Oscillation complexity (265 citations)
- Pantropical Climate Interactions (183 citations)
- Increased variability of eastern Pacific El Niño under greenhouse warming (161 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Climate change
- Meteorology
Michael J. McPhaden focuses on Climatology, Forcing, Oceanography, Indian ocean and Sea surface temperature.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Greenhouse warming and Intertropical Convergence Zone, Precipitation.
In the field of Oceanography, his study on Argo, Indian Ocean Dipole and Biogeochemistry overlaps with subjects such as Indonesian.
The concepts of his Indian ocean study are interwoven with issues in Atmosphere, Ekman transport and Boreal summer.
Sea surface temperature and Thermocline are frequently intertwined in his study.
His El Niño Southern Oscillation study also includes fields such as
- Tropical climate, which have a strong connection to Terrestrial ecosystem, Equator and Surface warming,
- Earth system science that intertwine with fields like Climate change.
