What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Oceanography
- Meteorology
- Climatology
Stefan Hastenrath spends much of his time researching Climatology, Oceanography, Tropical Atlantic, Sea surface temperature and Precipitation.
The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Glacier and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
In his research, Indian ocean, Pacific hurricane and Heat budget is intimately related to Atlas, which falls under the overarching field of Oceanography.
Stefan Hastenrath usually deals with Sea surface temperature and limits it to topics linked to Troposphere and Equator, Divergence, Upwelling and Hydrosphere.
His Precipitation study combines topics in areas such as Hydrology, Littoral zone and Holocene.
His Atmospheric circulation research incorporates themes from Monsoon and Anticyclone.
His most cited work include:
- Dynamics of climatic hazards in northeast Brazil (472 citations)
- Climate dynamics of the tropics (458 citations)
- Interannual Variability and Annual Cycle: Mechanisms of Circulation and Climate in the Tropical Atlantic Sector (249 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Climatology, Oceanography, Glacier, Atmospheric circulation and Sea surface temperature.
Stefan Hastenrath studies Tropical Atlantic which is a part of Climatology.
He has included themes like Annual cycle and Heat budget in his Oceanography study.
His study on Glacier mass balance is often connected to Mount and Ice stream as part of broader study in Glacier.
His Atmospheric circulation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Monsoon and Anticyclone.
His Equator research incorporates elements of Westerlies, Northern Hemisphere, Troposphere and Southern Hemisphere.
He most often published in these fields:
- Climatology (69.30%)
- Oceanography (25.12%)
- Glacier (20.93%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2000-2019)?
- Climatology (69.30%)
- Oceanography (25.12%)
- Equator (17.67%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Stefan Hastenrath mainly focuses on Climatology, Oceanography, Equator, Sea surface temperature and Westerlies.
The Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Subsidence, Indian ocean and Intertropical Convergence Zone.
In the field of Oceanography, his study on Atlantic Equatorial mode and Trade wind overlaps with subjects such as Wet season.
His Equator research includes elements of Range, Boreal, Glacier, Deglaciation and Southern Hemisphere.
In his study, Forcing is inextricably linked to Precipitation, which falls within the broad field of Sea surface temperature.
His Westerlies research includes themes of Quasi-biennial oscillation and Pressure gradient.
Between 2000 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- The intertropical convergence zone of the eastern Pacific revisited (82 citations)
- Diagnosing the 2005 Drought in Equatorial East Africa (82 citations)
- Variations of East African climate during the past two centuries (81 citations)
