What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Classical mechanics
- Climatology
Samuel Philander mostly deals with Oceanography, Climatology, Thermocline, Environmental science and Equator.
His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as Tropical pacific, Indian Ocean Dipole, Tropical wave and Sea surface temperature, overlaps with other areas such as Thermal equator.
His Tropical pacific research includes themes of Madden–Julian oscillation and El Niño Southern Oscillation, Southern oscillation.
His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Latent heat, Atmosphere, Waves and shallow water and Physical oceanography.
His Thermocline study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Vertical mixing and Upwelling.
He combines subjects such as Submarine pipeline and Seasonal cycle with his study of Upwelling.
His most cited work include:
- Parameterization of Vertical Mixing in Numerical Models of Tropical Oceans (1195 citations)
- Interdecadal Climate Fluctuations That Depend on Exchanges Between the Tropics and Extratropics (825 citations)
- Is El Nino changing (553 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Climatology, Oceanography, Thermocline, Equator and Geophysics.
His Climatology study frequently links to related topics such as Tropical pacific.
His study looks at the intersection of Tropical pacific and topics like Southern oscillation with Atmospheric sciences.
His Thermocline research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Boundary current, Zonal and meridional, Forcing, Seasonal cycle and Downwelling.
In general Equator study, his work on Equatorial waves and Tropical instability waves often relates to the realm of Subsurface currents, Linear system and Rossby number, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
The various areas that Samuel Philander examines in his Geophysics study include Kelvin wave, Baroclinity, Inviscid flow, Barotropic fluid and Rossby wave.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (50.85%)
- Oceanography (37.29%)
- Thermocline (35.59%)

- Thermocline (35.59%)
- Oceanography (37.29%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Thermocline, Oceanography, Environmental science and Sea surface temperature.
His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Tropical pacific and Atmosphere.
He has included themes like Ocean current, Seasonal cycle and Upwelling in his Thermocline study.
The concepts of his Upwelling study are interwoven with issues in Salinity and Forcing.
His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as Thermohaline circulation, intersects with other areas such as Effects of global warming, Pliocene climate, Glacier and Milankovitch cycles.
In general Equator, his work in Thermal equator, Equatorial waves and Tropical rain belt is often linked to Tropical wave and Gulf Stream linking many areas of study.
Between 1994 and 2012, his most popular works were:
- Interdecadal Climate Fluctuations That Depend on Exchanges Between the Tropics and Extratropics (825 citations)
- Is El Nino changing (553 citations)
- Why the ITCZ Is Mostly North of the Equator (403 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Oceanography
- Classical mechanics
- Climatology
His primary scientific interests are in Oceanography, Environmental science, Thermocline, Climatology and Climate state.
When carried out as part of a general Oceanography research project, his work on Upwelling is frequently linked to work in Equatorial waves, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
His Upwelling research encompasses a variety of disciplines, including Paleoclimatology, Milankovitch cycles, Glacier, Pliocene climate and Water cycle.
His work on Thermal equator as part of general Equatorial waves study is frequently linked to Atlantic Equatorial mode and Sea surface temperature, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Climate state research incorporates elements of Tropical Atmosphere Ocean project, Mode, Indian Ocean Dipole and Ocean heat content.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Tropical pacific and Pacific ocean.
