Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Archaeology
  • Ocean current

Philip L. Richardson spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Current, Gulf Stream, Ocean current and Eddy. Boundary current is closely connected to Structural basin in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Oceanography. His Current research includes themes of Climatology and Ridge.

His Gulf Stream research integrates issues from Thermocline, North Atlantic Deep Water and Latitude. His Ocean current research focuses on Tropical Atlantic and how it connects with Plume. As a part of the same scientific study, Philip L. Richardson usually deals with the Drifter, concentrating on Anticyclone and frequently concerns with Mean flow, Altimeter and Current meter.

His most cited work include:

  • Observations of the Mindanao Current during the western equatorial Pacific Ocean circulation study (347 citations)
  • The dispersal of the Amazon's water (323 citations)
  • Two Years in the Life of a Mediterranean Salt Lens (262 citations)

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

Philip L. Richardson mainly investigates Oceanography, Climatology, Ocean current, Gulf Stream and Current. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Eddy and Oceanography. His Climatology research incorporates themes from Mediterranean climate and Physical oceanography.

His studies deal with areas such as Water mass, North Atlantic Deep Water, Thermohaline circulation and Meteorology as well as Ocean current. His Gulf Stream research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Thermocline, Sargasso sea, Geodesy and Latitude of the Gulf Stream and the Gulf Stream north wall index. His study looks at the relationship between Current and topics such as Ocean gyre, which overlap with Eddy kinetic energy.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (83.61%)
  • Climatology (33.61%)
  • Ocean current (33.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2019)?

  • Oceanography (83.61%)
  • Climatology (33.61%)
  • Current (22.13%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Climatology, Current, Ocean current and Meteorology. His Oceanography research includes elements of Structural basin and Eddy. His study in the field of Tropical Atlantic is also linked to topics like Circulation and Indonesian.

His work carried out in the field of Tropical Atlantic brings together such families of science as Antarctic Intermediate Water and Gulf Stream. His Current study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ridge and Latitude of the Gulf Stream and the Gulf Stream north wall index. His work deals with themes such as Hydrography and Water mass, which intersect with Ocean current.

Between 2000 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Directly measured mid-depth circulation in the northeastern North Atlantic Ocean (182 citations)
  • Caribbean Current and eddies as observed by surface drifters (113 citations)
  • Agulhas leakage into the Atlantic estimated with subsurface floats and surface drifters (113 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Archaeology
  • Climatology

Philip L. Richardson mostly deals with Oceanography, Thermohaline circulation, Ocean current, Physical oceanography and Climatology. Philip L. Richardson has included themes like Structural basin and Equator in his Oceanography study. His Structural basin study combines topics in areas such as Current, Boundary current and Ridge.

His work in Ocean current covers topics such as Water mass which are related to areas like Thermocline, Gulf Stream and Oceanic basin. His biological study deals with issues like North Atlantic Deep Water, which deal with fields such as Ocean heat content. Philip L. Richardson has researched Drifter in several fields, including Eddy and Anticyclone.
