Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Dynamics
  • Climate change

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Stratosphere, Troposphere and Tropopause. His Climatology research incorporates themes from Climate change and Convection. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Climate model and Aerosol.

His Stratosphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Potential temperature and Water vapor. As part of the same scientific family, Stephan Fueglistaler usually focuses on Troposphere, concentrating on Mixing ratio and intersecting with Cloud physics, Humidity and Meteorology. While the research belongs to areas of Tropopause, Stephan Fueglistaler spends his time largely on the problem of Monsoon, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Zonal and meridional, Outflow and Microphysics.

His most cited work include:

  • 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.
