Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His main research concerns Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Biosphere and Atmosphere. Sietse O. Los has researched Normalized Difference Vegetation Index in several fields, including Climate change, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Ecosystem and Scale. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Boreal, Growing season, Primary production, Meteorology and Carbon dioxide.

The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Enhanced vegetation index and Albedo. His studies in Biosphere integrate themes in fields like Oceanography and Vegetation. His work deals with themes such as Hydrology, Remote sensing and Data set, which intersect with Atmosphere.

His most cited work include:

  • A Revised Land Surface Parameterization (SiB2) for Atmospheric GCMS. Part II: The Generation of Global Fields of Terrestrial Biophysical Parameters from Satellite Data (807 citations)
  • Higher northern latitude normalized difference vegetation index and growing season trends from 1982 to 1999 (575 citations)
  • Northern hemisphere photosynthetic trends 1982–99 (474 citations)

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

Vegetation, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Land cover are his primary areas of study. His Vegetation study also includes

  • Leaf area index together with Albedo, Photosynthetically active radiation and Biosphere model,
  • Remote sensing and related Meteorology and Atmospheric radiative transfer codes. The various areas that he examines in his Climatology study include Growing season, Climate change and Precipitation.

His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Boreal, Biosphere, Primary production, Greenhouse gas and Carbon dioxide. As part of one scientific family, Sietse O. Los deals mainly with the area of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, narrowing it down to issues related to the Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, and often Solar zenith angle. His Land cover research incorporates elements of Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment and Hydrology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Vegetation (35.62%)
  • Climatology (31.25%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (28.12%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Climatology (31.25%)
  • Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (28.75%)
  • Remote sensing (20.63%)

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

Sietse O. Los mainly focuses on Climatology, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Remote sensing, Climate change and Vegetation. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Magnitude frequency, Humid tropics and Historical climatology. His Normalized Difference Vegetation Index study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Heat wave, Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer, Physical geography and Precipitation.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Atmospheric radiative transfer codes and Leaf area index. His Climate change research incorporates themes from Regression analysis and Pine forest. His Vegetation study incorporates themes from Surface runoff and Water cycle.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A 1200-year multiproxy record of tree growth and summer temperature at the northern pine forest limit of Europe (86 citations)
  • Analysis of trends in fused AVHRR and MODIS NDVI data for 1982–2006: Indication for a CO2 fertilization effect in global vegetation (65 citations)
  • Statistical distances and their applications to biophysical parameter estimation: information measures, m-estimates, and minimum contrast methods (25 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Atmospheric radiative transfer codes, Climatology, Remote sensing, Leaf area index and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. His Climatology study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Climate change. Sietse O. Los has included themes like Tree canopy, Inversion and Interception in his Remote sensing study.

His Leaf area index research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Statistics, Coefficient of determination and Least squares. His studies in Normalized Difference Vegetation Index integrate themes in fields like Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer and Precipitation. His work deals with themes such as Sink, Carbon sink and Phenology, which intersect with Advanced very-high-resolution radiometer.
