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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Tropics, Global warming and Deep convection. His biological study deals with issues like Water vapor, which deal with fields such as Brewer-Dobson circulation. His Climatology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Climate change and Climate model.

Stephan Fueglistaler has researched Climate model in several fields, including Troposphere and Mean radiant temperature. His work deals with themes such as Moisture, Atmospheric dynamics, Tropical waters and Cirrus, which intersect with Deep convection. His Stratosphere research focuses on subjects like Upwelling, which are linked to Annual cycle.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Multitimescale variations in modeled stratospheric water vapor derived from three modern reanalysis products (13 citations)
  • Observational Evidence for Two Modes of Coupling Between Sea Surface Temperatures, Tropospheric Temperature Profile, and Shortwave Cloud Radiative Effect in the Tropics (12 citations)
  • The buffer zone of the quasi-biennial oscillation (5 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Atmosphere

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Stratosphere, Tropopause, Quasi-biennial oscillation and Tropics. His work in the fields of Tropospheric temperature overlaps with other areas such as Coupling. His research links Upwelling with Stratosphere.

His studies in Upwelling integrate themes in fields like Annual cycle and Water vapor. His Tropical tropopause study in the realm of Tropopause connects with subjects such as Buffer zone, Angular momentum and Breaking wave. He integrates Quasi-biennial oscillation with Mean flow in his study.
