Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing

Piers J. Sellers mostly deals with Remote sensing, Climatology, Biosphere model, Radiative transfer and Atmospheric sciences. His Remote sensing research integrates issues from Absorption, Photosynthetically active radiation and Stomatal conductance. Piers J. Sellers interconnects Albedo, Vapour Pressure Deficit and Snowmelt in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His Biosphere model research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Soil water and Water vapor. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photosynthetic capacity, Canopy, Leaf area index and Transpiration in addition to Radiative transfer. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Hydrology and Photosynthesis.

His most cited work include:

  • Canopy reflectance, photosynthesis and transpiration (1810 citations)
  • A Simple Biosphere Model (SIB) for Use within General Circulation Models (1806 citations)
  • A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part I: Model Formulation (1569 citations)

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

Piers J. Sellers mainly focuses on Remote sensing, Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology and Vegetation. His Remote sensing study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmospheric correction, Canopy, Photosynthetically active radiation and Nadir. His Meteorology research includes themes of Remote sensing, Global change and Earth system science.

His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Atmospheric models, Latent heat, Evapotranspiration and Terrestrial ecosystem. Piers J. Sellers combines subjects such as Albedo, Climate change, Climate model, Biosphere model and Precipitation with his study of Climatology. His research in Vegetation intersects with topics in Soil water, Sea surface temperature, Hydrology, Moisture and Anomaly.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (33.65%)
  • Meteorology (28.85%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (27.88%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2006-2018)?

  • Remote sensing (33.65%)
  • Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (5.77%)
  • Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (3.85%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer, Climatology and Atmosphere. His Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Eddy covariance, Data assimilation and Transpiration. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Climate change and Vegetation.

His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Sea surface temperature, Atmospheric sciences and Surface runoff. Piers J. Sellers focuses mostly in the field of Atmospheric sciences, narrowing it down to topics relating to Precipitation and, in certain cases, Soil science, Soil water and Evapotranspiration. His Atmosphere research includes elements of Climate system, Earth science and Greenhouse gas.

Between 2006 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Vegetation dynamics and rainfall sensitivity of the Amazon (178 citations)
  • Multi-angle implementation of atmospheric correction for MODIS (MAIAC): 3. Atmospheric correction (147 citations)
  • Scientific Impact of MODIS C5 Calibration Degradation and C6+ Improvements (139 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Remote sensing

Piers J. Sellers mainly investigates Remote sensing, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer, Aerosol and Atmospheric correction. As part of his studies on Remote sensing, he often connects relevant areas like Canopy. His Normalized Difference Vegetation Index research incorporates elements of Climatology, Sea surface temperature, Climate change and Atmospheric sciences.

His research integrates issues of Inversion, Meteorology and Real-time locating system in his study of Moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer. The study of Aerosol is intertwined with the study of Bidirectional reflectance distribution function in a number of ways. His Enhanced vegetation index research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Angstrom exponent and Ice cloud.
