Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Meteorology
  • Carbon dioxide

His main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Eddy covariance, Troposphere and Atmospheric chemistry. His Atmospheric sciences research incorporates themes from Carbon dioxide and Deciduous. His study in the field of Atmosphere, Aerosol and Mixed layer also crosses realms of Covariance and Boundary value problem.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Latent heat and Inversion in addition to Eddy covariance. S. C. Wofsy combines subjects such as Emission inventory, Northern Hemisphere and Latitude with his study of Troposphere. S. C. Wofsy has included themes like Primary production and Terrestrial ecosystem in his Flux footprint study.

His most cited work include:

  • FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem-Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities (2698 citations)
  • Response of a deciduous forest to the Mount Pinatubo eruption: enhanced photosynthesis. (459 citations)
  • Modelling the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum in a Quercus-Acer stand at Harvard Forest : the regulation of stomatal conductance by light, nitrogen and soil/plant hydraulic properties (415 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Troposphere, Meteorology, Stratosphere and Ozone. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Atmosphere, Eddy covariance and Greenhouse gas. The Eddy covariance study combines topics in areas such as Canopy and Black spruce.

His study explores the link between Troposphere and topics such as Latitude that cross with problems in Arctic. His work focuses on many connections between Meteorology and other disciplines, such as Carbon cycle, that overlap with his field of interest in Boreal. His Stratosphere research incorporates elements of Altitude, Extratropical cyclone and Aerosol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (49.44%)
  • Troposphere (21.35%)
  • Meteorology (20.79%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (49.44%)
  • Greenhouse gas (8.43%)
  • Ecosystem (7.87%)

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

S. C. Wofsy mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Greenhouse gas, Ecosystem, Methane and Troposphere. S. C. Wofsy does research in Atmospheric sciences, focusing on Daytime specifically. His study in Greenhouse gas is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Environmental engineering and Weather Research and Forecasting Model.

His work in Ecosystem addresses subjects such as Boreal, which are connected to disciplines such as Biomass and Trace gas. S. C. Wofsy works mostly in the field of Methane, limiting it down to concerns involving Carbon monoxide and, occasionally, Quantum cascade laser, Nitrous oxide and Environmental chemistry. His work deals with themes such as Stratosphere and Ozone, which intersect with Troposphere.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Seasonality of temperate forest photosynthesis and daytime respiration (128 citations)
  • A large increase in U.S. methane emissions over the past decade inferred from satellite data and surface observations (86 citations)
  • Tundra photosynthesis captured by satellite‐observed solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (42 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Meteorology
  • Carbon dioxide

His primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Ecosystem respiration, Taiga and Trace gas. In his works, S. C. Wofsy performs multidisciplinary study on Atmospheric sciences and Source type. His work on Primary production as part of general Ecosystem research is frequently linked to δ18O, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Ecosystem respiration research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Temperate forest, Temperate deciduous forest, Biosphere and Ecosystem ecology. S. C. Wofsy combines subjects such as Old-growth forest, Eddy covariance and Meteorology with his study of Taiga. His Trace gas research includes elements of Environmental chemistry and Atmosphere.
