Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

Steven C. Wofsy spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Atmospheric chemistry, Ecology and Remote sensing. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Hydrology, Meteorology, Ecosystem, Ecosystem respiration and Carbon dioxide. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Dry season, Climate change, Deciduous and Wet season.

His Eddy covariance study incorporates themes from Primary production, Photosynthetically active radiation, Carbon cycle, Evapotranspiration and Biome. His studies deal with areas such as Nitrous oxide, Stratosphere and Troposphere as well as Atmospheric chemistry. Steven C. Wofsy has included themes like Trace gas and Data assimilation in his Remote sensing study.

His most cited work include:

  • Tropospheric chemistry: A global perspective (1551 citations)
  • Gap filling strategies for defensible annual sums of net ecosystem exchange (1352 citations)
  • Measurements of carbon sequestration by long‐term eddy covariance: methods and a critical evaluation of accuracy (1194 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Climatology, Hydrology and Troposphere. His work deals with themes such as Atmosphere, Meteorology, Atmospheric chemistry and Methane, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences. The Eddy covariance study combines topics in areas such as Primary production and Carbon cycle.

His work carried out in the field of Climatology brings together such families of science as Arctic and Growing season. His research integrates issues of Soil water, Dry season, Canopy and Flux in his study of Hydrology. His Troposphere study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Planetary boundary layer, Trace gas and Aerosol.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (47.86%)
  • Eddy covariance (21.12%)
  • Climatology (16.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (47.86%)
  • Greenhouse gas (11.50%)
  • Troposphere (15.24%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Atmospheric sciences, Greenhouse gas, Troposphere, Remote sensing and Atmosphere. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Carbon cycle and Sink. His Greenhouse gas research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Emission inventory, Inversion, Methane and Mesoscale meteorology.

Steven C. Wofsy combines subjects such as Meteorology and Natural gas with his study of Methane. The concepts of his Troposphere study are interwoven with issues in Chemical physics, Trace gas, MOPITT, Aerosol and Current. The various areas that Steven C. Wofsy examines in his Atmosphere study include Pollutant, Extinction and Chemical composition.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Assessment of methane emissions from the U.S. oil and gas supply chain (236 citations)
  • Carbon dioxide sources from Alaska driven by increasing early winter respiration from Arctic tundra. (76 citations)
  • The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data (67 citations)

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

  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecology
  • Meteorology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Atmospheric sciences, Carbon cycle, Ecosystem, Greenhouse gas and Climatology. Specifically, his work in Atmospheric sciences is concerned with the study of Troposphere. His Carbon cycle research incorporates elements of Eddy covariance, Flux, Extratropical cyclone and Northern Hemisphere.

His work on Terrestrial ecosystem as part of general Ecosystem research is frequently linked to Demography, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Greenhouse gas research integrates issues from Remote sensing, Remote sensing, Airglow and Emission inventory. His study in Climatology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Growing season, Respiration, Global warming, Water vapor and Carbon dioxide.
