Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Climatology
  • Climate change

Oceanography, Climatology, Thermohaline circulation, Gulf Stream and Ocean current are his primary areas of study. His Oceanography study focuses mostly on North Atlantic Deep Water and Climate change. He interconnects Acoustic Doppler current profiler and Front in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His Thermohaline circulation research incorporates elements of Mooring and Ocean gyre. Stuart A. Cunningham combines subjects such as Atlantic Equatorial mode and Ekman transport with his study of Gulf Stream. The study incorporates disciplines such as Wind stress, Bottom water, Baroclinity and Global change in addition to Ocean current.

His most cited work include:

  • Temporal Variability of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5°N (663 citations)
  • Slowing of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation at 25° N (510 citations)
  • Transport and variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in Drake Passage (324 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Oceanography, Climatology, Thermohaline circulation, North Atlantic Deep Water and Shutdown of thermohaline circulation. Many of his studies on Oceanography apply to Ocean gyre as well. His work deals with themes such as Subtropics, Water mass and Climate change, which intersect with Climatology.

His Thermohaline circulation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Physical oceanography, Climate model and Gulf Stream. His work on Atlantic Equatorial mode as part of general North Atlantic Deep Water research is frequently linked to Amplitude, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His research integrates issues of Thermocline, Baroclinity and Ekman transport in his study of Geostrophic wind.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (79.72%)
  • Climatology (62.24%)
  • Thermohaline circulation (38.46%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Oceanography (79.72%)
  • Ocean gyre (18.88%)
  • Structural basin (6.99%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Ocean gyre, Structural basin, Mooring and Climatology. His work on Thermohaline circulation, Hydrography, Inflow and Water mass as part of his general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Circulation, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research integrates issues of Current, Boundary current and Current in his study of Ocean gyre.

The Mooring study combines topics in areas such as Trough and Cruise. Stuart A. Cunningham studies Ocean heat content, a branch of Climatology. His North Atlantic Deep Water study incorporates themes from Plateau and Gulf Stream.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A sea change in our view of overturning in the subpolar North Atlantic (127 citations)
  • Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program: A New International Ocean Observing System (106 citations)
  • Arctic Mediterranean exchanges: a consistent volume budget and trends in transports from two decades of observations (40 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Climatology
  • Climate change

His main research concerns Oceanography, Hydrography, Ocean gyre, Thermohaline circulation and Deep sea. His work on Ocean current, Arctic and Water mass as part of general Oceanography study is frequently connected to Glider, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Stuart A. Cunningham has included themes like North Atlantic Deep Water, Convection, Subarctic climate and Latitude in his Water mass study.

In his study, Zonal and meridional is inextricably linked to Sea surface temperature, which falls within the broad field of Hydrography. Stuart A. Cunningham works mostly in the field of Deep sea, limiting it down to concerns involving Climate model and, occasionally, Climatology. Climatology is closely attributed to Sea level in his research.
