2002 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Mesoscale meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology and Climate change. Roni Avissar has included themes like Evapotranspiration and Amazon rainforest in his Climatology study. His Mesoscale meteorology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sea breeze and Atmosphere.

His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Forest floor, Deciduous, Atmospheric model and Tree canopy. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Surface and Statistical physics. His Climate model research includes elements of Weather and climate and Effects of global warming.

His most cited work include:

  • Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration (874 citations)
  • A Parameterization of Heterogeneous Land Surfaces for Atmospheric Numerical Models and Its Impact on Regional Meteorology (672 citations)
  • Mechanisms of long-distance dispersal of seeds by wind (482 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Mesoscale meteorology and Precipitation. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Atmosphere, Climate model, Hydrometeorology and Amazon rainforest. In the field of Meteorology, his study on Planetary boundary layer, Atmospheric model and Turbulence overlaps with subjects such as Scale.

His Atmospheric sciences research also works with subjects such as

  • Atmospheric models that intertwine with fields like Parametrization,
  • Latent heat which is related to area like Vegetation. In his study, Atmospheric temperature is strongly linked to Atmospheric circulation, which falls under the umbrella field of Mesoscale meteorology. Roni Avissar combines subjects such as Anomaly, Tropics and Wet season with his study of Precipitation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (42.11%)
  • Meteorology (29.32%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (27.82%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Climatology (42.11%)
  • Amazon rainforest (15.04%)
  • Meteorology (29.32%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Amazon rainforest, Meteorology, Precipitation and Bird migration. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Range and GCM transcription factors. His Amazon rainforest research integrates issues from Agroforestry, Forestry and Hydrometeorology.

His research in Meteorology intersects with topics in Canopy, Atmospheric sciences and Scalar. The various areas that Roni Avissar examines in his Precipitation study include General Circulation Model and Climate model. His Climate model study also includes fields such as

  • Mesoscale meteorology and related Hydrology,
  • Atmosphere which is related to area like Atmospheric model.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The Canopy Horizontal Array Turbulence Study (67 citations)
  • Effects of Deforestation on Spatiotemporal Distributions of Precipitation in South America (56 citations)
  • Migration by soaring or flapping: numerical atmospheric simulations reveal that turbulence kinetic energy dictates bee-eater flight mode. (45 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

Roni Avissar mainly investigates Meteorology, Bird migration, Climatology, Tailwind and Precipitation. His Meteorology research incorporates elements of Canopy and Scalar. In his study, Airspeed, Ecology, Aerodynamics and Altitude is inextricably linked to Flapping, which falls within the broad field of Bird migration.

His Climatology study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Climate model. His Precipitation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Rossby wave and Amazon rainforest. His Amazon rainforest research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ecosystem, Extratropical cyclone, Hydrology and Mesoscale meteorology.
