Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Ocean current
  • Thermohaline circulation

Rana A. Fine focuses on Oceanography, Thermohaline circulation, Ocean current, North Atlantic Deep Water and Water mass. She has included themes like Climatology and Circulation in her Oceanography study. Within one scientific family, she focuses on topics pertaining to Ocean gyre under Climatology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Antarctic Intermediate Water.

Her research in Thermohaline circulation intersects with topics in Thermocline and Effects of global warming on oceans. Rana A. Fine is interested in Circumpolar deep water, which is a branch of North Atlantic Deep Water. Her work carried out in the field of Circumpolar deep water brings together such families of science as Western Hemisphere Warm Pool, Salinity, North Pacific Intermediate Water and Mode water.

Her most cited work include:

  • Pathways of water between the Pacific and Indian oceans in the Indonesian seas (358 citations)
  • Observations of the Mindanao Current during the western equatorial Pacific Ocean circulation study (347 citations)
  • The western equatorial Pacific: A water mass crossroads (297 citations)

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

Rana A. Fine spends much of her time researching Oceanography, Water mass, Climatology, Ocean gyre and Ocean current. Her Oceanography research focuses on Thermohaline circulation, North Atlantic Deep Water, Antarctic Intermediate Water, Hydrography and Thermocline. The Labrador Sea Water research she does as part of her general North Atlantic Deep Water study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Formation rate, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Her studies deal with areas such as Drifter, Circumpolar deep water, Mode water, Mixed layer and World Ocean Circulation Experiment as well as Water mass. As a member of one scientific family, she mostly works in the field of Climatology, focusing on Deep sea and, on occasion, Climate model. Her Ocean gyre research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Pacific decadal oscillation, Southern Hemisphere and North Pacific Intermediate Water.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (65.74%)
  • Water mass (25.93%)
  • Climatology (26.85%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Oceanography (65.74%)
  • Water mass (25.93%)
  • Climatology (26.85%)

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

Rana A. Fine mostly deals with Oceanography, Water mass, Climatology, Thermohaline circulation and Atmospheric sciences. As a part of the same scientific family, Rana A. Fine mostly works in the field of Oceanography, focusing on Mode water and, on occasion, Sub antarctic. Her Water mass research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Mixed layer and Circumpolar deep water.

Her Climatology research includes themes of Deep sea, Climate change, Climate model and Physical oceanography. As part of one scientific family, she deals mainly with the area of Atmospheric sciences, narrowing it down to issues related to the Ventilation, and often Circulation. Her study in North Atlantic Deep Water is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Ocean general circulation model, Boundary current and Gulf Stream.

Between 2008 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Changes in ocean heat, carbon content, and ventilation : a review of the first decade of GO-SHIP Global Repeat Hydrography (89 citations)
  • Formation rates of Subantarctic mode water and Antarctic intermediate water within the South Pacific (81 citations)
  • Antarctic Intermediate Water and Subantarctic Mode Water Formation in the Southeast Pacific: The Role of Turbulent Mixing (62 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Ocean current
  • Meteorology

Her primary areas of investigation include Oceanography, Thermohaline circulation, Atmosphere, TRACER and Subantarctic Mode Water. In general Oceanography, her work in Water mass, Ocean current and Continental shelf is often linked to Causeway linking many areas of study. Rana A. Fine is interested in North Atlantic Deep Water, which is a field of Thermohaline circulation.

Her work in the fields of North Atlantic Deep Water, such as Shutdown of thermohaline circulation, overlaps with other areas such as Oceanic basin. Her Subantarctic Mode Water research integrates issues from Hydrography and Front. Her Antarctic Intermediate Water study incorporates themes from Ocean dynamics, Stratification and Mixed layer.
