Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Climatology
  • Tropical cyclone

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Data assimilation, Meteorology, Precipitation and Atmospheric circulation. The various areas that he examines in his Climatology study include Convection, Outflow and Water content. His Data assimilation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Snow and Mesonet.

His study in Meteorology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment and Forcing. His Precipitation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Synoptic scale meteorology, Cross-validation and Interpolation. The Atmospheric circulation study which covers Anomaly that intersects with Southern Hemisphere, Middle latitudes and Outgoing longwave radiation.

His most cited work include:

  • The multi‐institution North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS): Utilizing multiple GCIP products and partners in a continental distributed hydrological modeling system (916 citations)
  • Assessing objective techniques for gauge‐based analyses of global daily precipitation (505 citations)
  • Real‐time and retrospective forcing in the North American Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) project (439 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Precipitation, Data assimilation, Meteorology and Atmospheric circulation. His Climatology research integrates issues from Madden–Julian oscillation, Oceanography and Atmospheric sciences. The concepts of his Precipitation study are interwoven with issues in Moisture, Water balance, Spatial distribution and Spatial variability.

His Data assimilation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Snow, Forcing, Water content and Mesonet. His study looks at the intersection of Meteorology and topics like Surface runoff with Bowen ratio and Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment. His Atmospheric circulation research includes elements of Middle latitudes, Climate Forecast System and Yield.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (74.00%)
  • Precipitation (50.00%)
  • Data assimilation (38.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2015)?

  • Climatology (74.00%)
  • Precipitation (50.00%)
  • Meteorology (30.00%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Precipitation, Meteorology, Atmospheric circulation and Monsoon. The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Flood myth and Precipitation index. His work in Precipitation covers topics such as Atmospheric sciences which are related to areas like Anomaly, El Niño Southern Oscillation and Madden–Julian oscillation.

R. Wayne Higgins specializes in Meteorology, namely Data assimilation. His studies deal with areas such as Trough, Yield, Warm front, Humidity and Spring as well as Atmospheric circulation. His Monsoon study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Statistics and Subtropical ridge.

Between 2009 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • The day-to-day monitoring of the 2011 severe drought in China (83 citations)
  • Modulation of Cold-Season U.S. Daily Precipitation by the Madden–Julian Oscillation (45 citations)
  • Daily Precipitation Statistics for South America: An Intercomparison between NCEP Reanalyses and Observations (39 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climatology
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Precipitation, Atmospheric sciences, Structural basin and Yangtze river. R. Wayne Higgins incorporates Precipitation and Relative stability in his studies. His study on Relative stability is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Madden–Julian oscillation, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Cold season, Anomaly and Tropical convection.

His Madden–Julian oscillation study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Drainage basin. His Structural basin research includes elements of Agriculture, Precipitation index, Flood myth and Day to day. Statistics and Monsoon are frequently intertwined in his study.
