What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Mechanics
- Meteorology
His main research concerns Mechanics, Climatology, Oceanography, Potential vorticity and Ocean gyre.
His study in Mechanics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermal diffusivity and Geophysics.
Peter B. Rhines connects Climatology with Environmental science in his study.
In his work, Global climate and Water mass is strongly intertwined with Convection, which is a subfield of Oceanography.
Potential vorticity is a subfield of Vorticity that Peter B. Rhines explores.
His studies deal with areas such as Turbulence, Eddy and Circulation as well as Vorticity.
His most cited work include:
- Abrupt climate change (1052 citations)
- Waves and turbulence on a beta-plane (941 citations)
- Long-term coordinated changes in the convective activity of the North Atlantic (597 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Peter B. Rhines spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Climatology, Potential vorticity, Ocean gyre and Geophysics.
His research in Thermohaline circulation, North Atlantic Deep Water, Boundary current, Water mass and Hydrography are components of Oceanography.
His work deals with themes such as Effects of global warming on oceans and Convection, which intersect with Climatology.
His Potential vorticity research includes themes of Enstrophy, Geostrophic wind and Circulation.
His work carried out in the field of Ocean gyre brings together such families of science as Sea surface temperature and Ocean current.
The Geophysics study which covers Rossby wave that intersects with Baroclinity, Meteorology, Geometry and Thermocline.
He most often published in these fields:
- Oceanography (37.96%)
- Climatology (30.56%)
- Potential vorticity (23.15%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2018)?
- Oceanography (37.96%)
- Water mass (12.96%)
- Thermohaline circulation (17.59%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Water mass, Thermohaline circulation, Climatology and Ocean gyre.
Many of his research projects under Oceanography are closely connected to Entrainment with Entrainment, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
Peter B. Rhines works mostly in the field of Boundary current, limiting it down to concerns involving Potential vorticity and, occasionally, Ocean current.
His Thermohaline circulation study combines topics in areas such as Hydrography, Climate model and Gulf Stream.
In the field of Climatology, his study on Ocean heat content overlaps with subjects such as Environmental science.
Ocean gyre and Geophysics are frequently intertwined in his study.
Between 2011 and 2018, his most popular works were:
- Northern North Atlantic sea surface height and ocean heat content variability (47 citations)
- Overflow Waters at the Iceland-Faroe Ridge Observed in Multiyear Seaglider Surveys (36 citations)
- On the origin of jets in the ocean (31 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Mechanics
- Geometry
Peter B. Rhines mostly deals with Thermohaline circulation, Oceanography, Ocean heat content, Climatology and Ocean gyre.
Thermohaline circulation is closely attributed to Mesoscale meteorology in his study.
In general Oceanography study, his work on Wind stress, Ridge and Hydrography often relates to the realm of Entrainment, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
The various areas that Peter B. Rhines examines in his Ocean heat content study include Water mass, Salinity, Potential temperature and Latitude.
His Effects of global warming on oceans research extends to the thematically linked field of Climatology.
His research integrates issues of Baroclinity, Ocean current, Barotropic fluid, Rossby wave and Free surface in his study of Ocean gyre.
