Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Magnetosphere
  • Optics
  • Geophysics

Shinichi Ohtani spends much of his time researching Geophysics, Substorm, Plasma sheet, Magnetosphere and Computational physics. Shinichi Ohtani works on Geophysics which deals in particular with Ionosphere. His study in Substorm is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Geosynchronous orbit, Instability and Electric current.

His Plasma sheet research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Magnetic flux, Intensity, Convection and Boundary layer. In his research, Low latitude, Breakup, QUIET and Plasmasphere is intimately related to Polar, which falls under the overarching field of Magnetosphere. His Computational physics research incorporates elements of Energetic neutral atom and Current sheet.

His most cited work include:

  • Temporal structure of the fast convective flow in the plasma sheet: Comparison between observations and two‐fluid simulations (222 citations)
  • Radial expansion of the tail current disruption during substorms: A new approach to the substorm onset region (182 citations)
  • Initial signatures of magnetic field and energetic particle fluxes at tail reconfiguration : explosive growth phase (148 citations)

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

His main research concerns Geophysics, Substorm, Magnetosphere, Plasma sheet and Ionosphere. He interconnects Local time, Computational physics, Astrophysics and Interplanetary magnetic field, Solar wind in the investigation of issues within Geophysics.
