Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

René Laprise mostly deals with Climate model, Climatology, Precipitation, Meteorology and Forcing. His Climate model research focuses on subjects like Downscaling, which are linked to Errors-in-variables models. His studies deal with areas such as Computer simulation and Climate simulation as well as Climatology.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Storm and Diurnal cycle. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of General Circulation Model and Sensitivity. His Forcing research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Water mass, Oceanography, Ocean current and Magnitude.

His most cited work include:

  • Regional climate projections (2740 citations)
  • Regional Climate Information—Evaluation and Projections (395 citations)
  • A Semi-Implicit Semi-Lagrangian Regional Climate Model: The Canadian RCM (347 citations)

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

René Laprise focuses on Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Climate change. His work on Atmospheric circulation as part of general Climatology study is frequently linked to Scale, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Climate model, Sea surface temperature is strongly linked to Downscaling.

His work investigates the relationship between Precipitation and topics such as Mesoscale meteorology that intersect with problems in Compressibility. His study focuses on the intersection of Meteorology and fields such as Sensitivity with connections in the field of Computer simulation. The Arctic study combines topics in areas such as Sea ice, Baroclinity, Potential temperature and The arctic.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (72.32%)
  • Climate model (65.54%)
  • Precipitation (28.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Climatology (72.32%)
  • Climate model (65.54%)
  • Precipitation (28.25%)

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

René Laprise spends much of his time researching Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Arctic. His Climatology study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Climate change. His Climate model research incorporates themes from Storm, Atmospheric sciences, Downscaling, General Circulation Model and Freezing rain.

His Precipitation index study, which is part of a larger body of work in Precipitation, is frequently linked to Air temperature, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study in the field of Weather and climate is also linked to topics like Homogeneous. His Arctic course of study focuses on The arctic and Wind speed and Spatial distribution.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The effects of 1.5 and 2 degrees of global warming on Africa in the CORDEX ensemble (71 citations)
  • Challenges in the Quest for Added Value of Regional Climate Dynamical Downscaling (64 citations)
  • Evaluation of daily precipitation statistics and monsoon onset/retreat over western Sahel in multiple data sets (43 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

René Laprise mainly investigates Climatology, Climate model, Precipitation, Meteorology and Downscaling. In his study, Sea surface temperature, Evapotranspiration and Drainage basin is inextricably linked to Climate change, which falls within the broad field of Climatology. His Climate model research includes themes of Wind speed and Arctic.

His research in Precipitation tackles topics such as Monsoon which are related to areas like Dry spell and Atmospheric model. His study on Meteorology also encompasses disciplines like

  • Econometrics that intertwine with fields like Proxy,
  • Grid that intertwine with fields like Polygon mesh. René Laprise has included themes like Measure, Range and Inflow in his Downscaling study.
