2019 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

Son V. Nghiem mainly focuses on Climatology, Remote sensing, Sea ice, Meteorology and Arctic ice pack. His studies deal with areas such as Oceanography and Greenland ice sheet as well as Climatology. Son V. Nghiem studies Remote sensing, namely Radiometer.

His Radiometer research incorporates elements of Radiometry, Wind speed and Microwave, Brightness temperature. His Sea ice thickness study in the realm of Sea ice interacts with subjects such as Solar energy. His Arctic ice pack research incorporates themes from Ice shelf, Ice core and Ice sheet.

His most cited work include:

  • Soil moisture retrieval from AMSR-E (1126 citations)
  • The International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) Version 3.0 (710 citations)
  • The extreme melt across the Greenland ice sheet in 2012 (336 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Remote sensing, Sea ice, Backscatter, Scatterometer and Arctic ice pack. The Remote sensing study combines topics in areas such as Polarimetry, Scattering and Meteorology. Radiometry and Brightness temperature is closely connected to Radiometer in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Meteorology.

He works mostly in the field of Sea ice, limiting it down to topics relating to Atmospheric sciences and, in certain cases, Ozone, Ozone depletion, Arctic and Snowpack. His Backscatter course of study focuses on Surface wave and Significant wave height and Wind wave. Son V. Nghiem has researched Arctic ice pack in several fields, including Cryosphere and Snow.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (45.60%)
  • Sea ice (36.27%)
  • Backscatter (20.21%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Remote sensing (45.60%)
  • Sea ice (36.27%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (12.44%)

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

His main research concerns Remote sensing, Sea ice, Atmospheric sciences, Remote sensing and Arctic ice pack. Borrowing concepts from Reflectometry, Son V. Nghiem weaves in ideas under Remote sensing. His Sea ice research includes themes of Snow, Arctic and Synthetic aperture radar.

His work deals with themes such as Fuel moisture content and Ozone, Ozone depletion, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences. His research on Arctic ice pack concerns the broader Climatology. His research in Climatology intersects with topics in Downscaling, Greenhouse gas and Geospatial analysis.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Interdecadal changes in snow depth on Arctic sea ice (138 citations)
  • Convective forcing of mercury and ozone in the Arctic boundary layer induced by leads in sea ice (55 citations)
  • Northern Eurasia Future Initiative (NEFI): facing the challenges and pathways of global change in the twenty-first century (47 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Meteorology
  • Climate change

His primary areas of study are Sea ice, Arctic ice pack, Atmospheric sciences, Differential optical absorption spectroscopy and Tropospheric ozone depletion events. He works in the field of Sea ice, namely Antarctic sea ice. His Arctic ice pack research is covered under the topics of Climatology and Arctic.

His Climatology and Sea ice concentration and Sea ice thickness investigations all form part of his Climatology research activities. In his research, Computational physics, Scattering, Optics and Discrete dipole approximation is intimately related to Snowpack, which falls under the overarching field of Atmospheric sciences. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Radiative transfer, Microwave and Maxwell's equations.
