Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Astronomy
  • Artificial intelligence

His primary areas of investigation include Geodesy, Global Positioning System, Very-long-baseline interferometry, Interferometry and Geodetic datum. Thomas A. Herring interconnects Kalman filter, Remote sensing and Eurasian Plate in the investigation of issues within Geodesy. Thomas A. Herring applies his multidisciplinary studies on Global Positioning System and GPS meteorology in his research.

His study looks at the relationship between Very-long-baseline interferometry and topics such as Amplitude, which overlap with Atmospheric pressure, Residual and Middle latitudes. His Interferometry research includes elements of Nutation, Geophysics, Radio telescope, Estimator and Cross-correlation. His study looks at the relationship between Precipitable water and fields such as Zenith, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His most cited work include:

  • GPS Meteorology: Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Water Vapor Using the Global Positioning System (1436 citations)
  • Geodesy by radio interferometry: Effects of atmospheric modeling errors on estimates of baseline length (873 citations)
  • Surface melt-induced acceleration of Greenland ice-sheet flow (839 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Geodesy, Global Positioning System, Very-long-baseline interferometry, Geodetic datum and Remote sensing. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Nutation, Observatory, Geophysics and Interferometry. As part of the same scientific family, Thomas A. Herring usually focuses on Global Positioning System, concentrating on Seismology and intersecting with Slip and Crust.

His Very-long-baseline interferometry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Group delay and phase delay, Accuracy and precision, Radio telescope and Standard deviation. His research integrates issues of Kalman filter, Deformation and Atmospheric pressure in his study of Geodetic datum. In his study, Radiometer is strongly linked to Water vapor, which falls under the umbrella field of Remote sensing.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (54.75%)
  • Global Positioning System (32.40%)
  • Very-long-baseline interferometry (25.14%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?

  • Geodesy (54.75%)
  • Global Positioning System (32.40%)
  • GNSS applications (6.15%)

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

His primary areas of study are Geodesy, Global Positioning System, GNSS applications, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Remote sensing. His primary area of study in Geodesy is in the field of Geodetic datum. His work deals with themes such as Kalman filter, Troposphere and STREAMS, which intersect with Geodetic datum.

His Global Positioning System research incorporates themes from Tectonics and Orbit. His GNSS applications study combines topics in areas such as Systems engineering and Warning system. His work in Interferometric synthetic aperture radar covers topics such as Artificial intelligence which are related to areas like Pattern recognition.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Plate Boundary Observatory and related networks: GPS data analysis methods and geodetic products (88 citations)
  • Enhanced cycle slip detection method for dual-frequency BeiDou GEO carrier phase observations (17 citations)
  • Greenland Ice Sheet flow response to runoff variability (15 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Astronomy
  • Artificial intelligence

Thomas A. Herring spends much of his time researching Global Positioning System, Geodesy, GNSS applications, Interferometric synthetic aperture radar and Satellite. His Global Positioning System study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Orbit. His work on Geodetic datum as part of general Geodesy study is frequently linked to Positioning system, bridging the gap between disciplines.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Algorithm and Sensitivity in addition to GNSS applications. His studies deal with areas such as Seismology, Landslide, Fault and Remote sensing as well as Interferometric synthetic aperture radar. His Satellite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Spacecraft, Orbital maneuver and Control theory, Trajectory.
