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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Environmental science, Troposphere, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences and Meteorology. His biological study deals with issues like Northern Hemisphere, which deal with fields such as Southern Hemisphere. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmosphere, Trace gas, Ozone and Air quality index.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Environmental chemistry, Altitude and Aerosol in addition to Atmospheric sciences. The Aerosol study combines topics in areas such as Volcano and Volcanic ash. His research in the fields of Atmospheric chemistry and Relative humidity overlaps with other disciplines such as Standard conditions for temperature and pressure and On board.

Between 2010 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Constraining global methane emissions and uptake by ecosystems (154 citations)
  • A regional air quality forecasting system over Europe : the MACC-II daily ensemble production (118 citations)
  • Radiative forcing due to changes in ozone and methane caused by the transport sector (58 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Atmosphere of Earth
  • Troposphere

P. F. J. van Velthoven mostly deals with Climatology, Environmental science, Radiative forcing, Atmospheric chemistry and Air quality index. His research on Climatology focuses in particular on Monsoon. His Atmospheric chemistry research integrates issues from Tropospheric ozone, Troposphere and Nitrogen oxide.

His Aerosol study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Volcano and Atmosphere. P. F. J. van Velthoven has included themes like Meteorology and Ozone in his NOx study. The concepts of his Meteorology study are interwoven with issues in Satellite, Volcanic ash and Atmospheric sciences.
