Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Meteorology
  • Ionosphere

His main research concerns Mesosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Thermosphere, Climatology and Ionosphere. The concepts of his Mesosphere study are interwoven with issues in Airglow, Northern Hemisphere and Equinox. The various areas that Qian Wu examines in his Atmospheric sciences study include Amplitude, Solstice, Latitude and Solar wind.

His work in Latitude covers topics such as Wave model which are related to areas like Altitude. Thermosphere is a subfield of Atmosphere that Qian Wu tackles. His study in Ionosphere is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Lidar, Solar physics and Perturbation.

His most cited work include:

  • An empirical model of the Earth's horizontal wind fields: HWM07 (402 citations)
  • Comparison of COSMIC ionospheric measurements with ground-based observations and model predictions : Preliminary results (238 citations)
  • Tropospheric tides from 80 to 400 km: Propagation, interannual variability, and solar cycle effects (152 citations)

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

Atmospheric sciences, Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere and Climatology are his primary areas of study. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Amplitude, Latitude and Wavenumber. His studies in Thermosphere integrate themes in fields like Wavelength, Earth's magnetic field, Stratosphere and Doppler effect.

He has included themes like COSMIC cancer database, Equator, Meteorology and Satellite in his Ionosphere study. His work carried out in the field of Mesosphere brings together such families of science as Quasi-biennial oscillation, Airglow, Equinox and Gravitational wave, Gravity wave. When carried out as part of a general Climatology research project, his work on Mesopause is frequently linked to work in Seasonality, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (64.61%)
  • Thermosphere (47.75%)
  • Ionosphere (38.20%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (64.61%)
  • Ionosphere (38.20%)
  • Thermosphere (47.75%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Atmospheric sciences, Ionosphere, Thermosphere, Mesosphere and Climatology. The study incorporates disciplines such as Interhemispheric asymmetry, Wind speed and Total electron content in addition to Atmospheric sciences. He interconnects COSMIC cancer database, Electron density, Ionosonde, Amplitude and Meteorology in the investigation of issues within Ionosphere.

His Thermosphere study is concerned with Atmosphere in general. His Atmosphere research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Gravity wave and Solar minimum. His study looks at the intersection of Mesosphere and topics like Gravitational wave with Equator.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Global Responses of the Coupled Thermosphere and Ionosphere System to the August 2017 Great American Solar Eclipse (22 citations)
  • First Results From the Ionospheric Extension of WACCM-X During the Deep Solar Minimum Year of 2008 (17 citations)
  • Seasonal Dependence of Geomagnetic Active-Time Northern High-Latitude Upper Thermospheric Winds (17 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Meteorology
  • Ionosphere

Qian Wu mainly focuses on Thermosphere, Atmospheric sciences, Ionosphere, Satellite and Middle latitudes. His research in Thermosphere intersects with topics in Earth's magnetic field and Data assimilation. His work deals with themes such as Climatology and High latitude, which intersect with Data assimilation.

His Mesosphere and Mesopause investigations are all subjects of Atmospheric sciences research. Ionosonde, Gravity wave and Solar minimum is closely connected to Atmosphere in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Ionosphere. His Satellite research incorporates elements of Spacecraft and Solar wind.
