Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Ecology

His primary areas of investigation include Mediterranean sea, Oceanography, Mediterranean climate, Climatology and Convection. His studies in Mediterranean sea integrate themes in fields like Climate change, Water mass, Mixed layer and Basin scale. Pierre Testor regularly ties together related areas like Biogeochemical cycle in his Oceanography studies.

His Mediterranean Basin study in the realm of Mediterranean climate connects with subjects such as Energy source. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Precipitation and Water cycle. His Convection research incorporates themes from Deep sea, Deep ocean water, Ocean observations and Water column.

His most cited work include:

  • Marine ecosystems' responses to climatic and anthropogenic forcings in the Mediterranean (279 citations)
  • HyMeX-SOP1: The Field Campaign Dedicated to Heavy Precipitation and Flash Flooding in the Northwestern Mediterranean (218 citations)
  • Seasonal variability of the mixed layer depth in the Mediterranean Sea as derived from in situ profiles (162 citations)

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

Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Climatology, Glider and Mediterranean climate are his primary areas of study. His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biogeochemical cycle and Eddy. His Mediterranean sea research includes themes of Convection, Thermohaline circulation, Water mass, Mixed layer and Vortex.

His work in the fields of Mesoscale meteorology, Argo and Forcing overlaps with other areas such as Advection. In his research, Geostrophic wind is intimately related to Upwelling, which falls under the overarching field of Glider. When carried out as part of a general Mediterranean climate research project, his work on Mediterranean Basin is frequently linked to work in Formation water and High resolution, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (60.69%)
  • Mediterranean sea (42.07%)
  • Climatology (28.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Oceanography (60.69%)
  • Mediterranean sea (42.07%)
  • Glider (26.90%)

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

Pierre Testor mainly focuses on Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Glider, Mediterranean climate and Stratification. His Oceanography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Foraging and Eddy. His work deals with themes such as Convection, Human echolocation, Climate change, Biogeochemical cycle and Mixed layer, which intersect with Mediterranean sea.

Pierre Testor has researched Glider in several fields, including Coastal zone, Pelagic zone and Turbidity. Pierre Testor combines subjects such as Range, Spring bloom, Coral, Current and Mixing with his study of Mediterranean climate. His Stratification study combines topics in areas such as Deep convection and Climatology, Forcing.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Evolving and Sustaining Ocean Best Practices and Standards for the Next Decade (52 citations)
  • Characterizing, modelling and understanding the climate variability of the deep water formation in the North-Western Mediterranean Sea (49 citations)
  • OceanGliders : a component of the integrated GOOS (29 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Ecology

His main research concerns Best practice, Oceanography, Mediterranean sea, Underwater glider and Ocean observations. His study in Oceanography is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Range and Mediterranean climate. His research integrates issues of Stratification, Climatology, Hindcast, Water column and Bottom water in his study of Mediterranean sea.

His Underwater glider research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Acoustics, Wind speed and Satellite. His Ocean observations research includes elements of Ocean current and Environmental resource management. His Environmental resource management research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Variety, Climate change and Sustainable development.
