Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Astronomy
  • Atmosphere
  • Optics

Roger V. Yelle mostly deals with Atmosphere, Titan, Astrobiology, Ionosphere and Thermosphere. His studies deal with areas such as Radiative transfer, Planet, Saturn and Atmospheric sciences as well as Atmosphere. His work carried out in the field of Titan brings together such families of science as Magnetosphere, Stratosphere, Atomic physics and Mass spectrometry.

His work in Ionosphere tackles topics such as Ionization which are related to areas like Spectral line and Hubble space telescope. He has included themes like Number density, Astrophysics, Hydrodynamic escape and Atmosphere of Uranus in his Thermosphere study. The various areas that Roger V. Yelle examines in his Astrophysics study include Optical depth and Astronomy.

His most cited work include:

  • Cassini Ion and Neutral Mass Spectrometer: Enceladus Plume Composition and Structure (471 citations)
  • Aeronomy of extra-solar giant planets at small orbital distances (453 citations)
  • The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution ( MAVEN ) Mission (375 citations)

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

Roger V. Yelle mainly investigates Astrobiology, Atmosphere, Titan, Atmospheric sciences and Thermosphere. Many of his research projects under Astrobiology are closely connected to Environmental science with Environmental science, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Planet, Astrophysics and Saturn.

His studies deal with areas such as Computational physics, Stratosphere, Magnetosphere and Ionosphere as well as Titan. His Ionosphere study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Ionization and Atomic physics. The study of Atmospheric sciences is intertwined with the study of Altitude in a number of ways.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Astrobiology (45.67%)
  • Atmosphere (30.09%)
  • Titan (29.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Atmosphere (30.09%)
  • Astrobiology (45.67%)
  • Mars Exploration Program (14.72%)

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

Atmosphere, Astrobiology, Mars Exploration Program, Environmental science and Martian are his primary areas of study. Roger V. Yelle mostly deals with Thermosphere in his studies of Atmosphere. When carried out as part of a general Astrobiology research project, his work on Solar System is frequently linked to work in TRACER, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His studies in Mars Exploration Program integrate themes in fields like Photoelectric effect and Mesosphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as Radiative transfer, Ionosphere and Atmospheric escape in addition to Martian. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Timekeeping on Mars and Altitude.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Simulating the density of organic species in the atmosphere of Titan with a coupled ion-neutral photochemical model (56 citations)
  • The Morphology of the Topside Martian Ionosphere: Implications on Bulk Ion Flow (20 citations)
  • Global characteristics of gravity waves in the upper atmosphere of Mars as measured by MAVEN/NGIMS (15 citations)

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

  • Astronomy
  • Optics
  • Infrared

Roger V. Yelle spends much of his time researching Atmosphere of Mars, Atmosphere, Mars Exploration Program, Martian and Atmospheric sciences. His research on Atmosphere focuses in particular on Thermosphere. His Mars Exploration Program study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer, Longitude, Astrophysics and Altitude.

His Martian study is associated with Astrobiology. The Astrobiology study combines topics in areas such as Exoplanet and Ice giant. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Spectral line, Spectrograph and Extinction.
