Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climatology

Robert S. Pickart focuses on Oceanography, Water mass, Climatology, Boundary current and Ocean current. His work on Oceanography deals in particular with Hydrography, North Atlantic Deep Water, Labrador Sea Water, Continental shelf and Arctic ice pack. His work in Water mass covers topics such as Canyon which are related to areas like Transect and Canada Basin.

His Climatology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Storm, Deep convection, Convection and Upwelling. The various areas that Robert S. Pickart examines in his Boundary current study include Mooring and Halocline. His Ocean current research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Baroclinity and Gulf Stream.

His most cited work include:

  • Massive Phytoplankton Blooms Under Arctic Sea Ice (462 citations)
  • Deep convection in the Irminger Sea forced by the Greenland tip jet (197 citations)
  • Hydrography of the Labrador Sea during Active Convection (194 citations)

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

Robert S. Pickart spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Climatology, Hydrography, Boundary current and Environmental science. His study involves Water mass, Current, Arctic, Continental shelf and Sea ice, a branch of Oceanography. His studies in Water mass integrate themes in fields like Canyon and Temperature salinity diagrams.

His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Storm, Convection and Upwelling. His research in Hydrography focuses on subjects like Baroclinity, which are connected to Geophysics. His research integrates issues of Mooring, Atlantic water and Gulf Stream in his study of Boundary current.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (82.57%)
  • Climatology (29.82%)
  • Hydrography (24.77%)

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

  • Oceanography (82.57%)
  • Environmental science (21.10%)
  • Arctic (16.51%)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Environmental science, Arctic, Boundary current and Current. His study brings together the fields of Canyon and Oceanography. His work deals with themes such as Phytoplankton, Sea ice, Geotraces and Ocean acidification, which intersect with Arctic.

The Boundary current study combines topics in areas such as Atlantic water, Canada Basin and Seasonality. The Current study which covers Hydrography that intersects with Channel and Nordic Seas. The study incorporates disciplines such as Nutrient and Circulation in addition to Water mass.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A sea change in our view of overturning in the subpolar North Atlantic (127 citations)
  • Transport of Pacific water into the Canada Basin and the formation of the Chukchi Slope Current (31 citations)
  • Variability and Redistribution of Heat in the Atlantic Water Boundary Current North of Svalbard (27 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Environmental science, Upwelling, Boundary current and Water mass. Oceanography is often connected to Jet in his work. His research in Upwelling tackles topics such as Canyon which are related to areas like Storm.

His work is dedicated to discovering how Boundary current, Atlantic water are connected with Seasonality and other disciplines. His Water mass research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nutrient and Circulation. In his research, Isopycnal is intimately related to Hydrography, which falls under the overarching field of Current.
