Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Climatology

Thomas Birner mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Stratosphere, Troposphere and Extratropical cyclone. His research in Atmospheric sciences focuses on subjects like Mesoscale meteorology, which are connected to Ice cloud. His work on Sudden stratospheric warming and Brewer-Dobson circulation as part of general Climatology research is frequently linked to Environmental science and Residual, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His Stratosphere study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Climate model. Specifically, his work in Troposphere is concerned with the study of Tropopause. In Tropopause, he works on issues like Radiosonde, which are connected to Temperature gradient and Potential vorticity.

His most cited work include:

  • THE EXTRATROPICAL UPPER TROPOSPHERE AND LOWER STRATOSPHERE (216 citations)
  • On the Lack of Stratospheric Dynamical Variability in Low‐Top Versions of the CMIP5 Models (204 citations)
  • Defining Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (196 citations)

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

Thomas Birner focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Environmental science, Climatology, Stratosphere and Tropopause. His Troposphere, Extratropical cyclone and Tropical tropopause study, which is part of a larger body of work in Atmospheric sciences, is frequently linked to Mixing, bridging the gap between disciplines. As part of the same scientific family, Thomas Birner usually focuses on Troposphere, concentrating on Eddy and intersecting with Jet.

His Climatology research incorporates themes from Convection, Climate model, Radiosonde and Seasonality. Many of his research projects under Stratosphere are closely connected to Longitudinal static stability with Longitudinal static stability, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Tropopause research incorporates elements of Moisture, Annual cycle, Middle latitudes and Water vapor.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (69.03%)
  • Environmental science (58.06%)
  • Climatology (47.74%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Environmental science (58.06%)
  • Climatology (47.74%)
  • Stratosphere (37.42%)

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

Thomas Birner mostly deals with Environmental science, Climatology, Stratosphere, Atmospheric sciences and Tropopause. His work deals with themes such as Predictability and Climate sensitivity, which intersect with Climatology. His studies deal with areas such as Trace gas, Troposphere and ECHAM as well as Stratosphere.

His work on Tropospheric wave as part of his general Troposphere study is frequently connected to Product, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Atmospheric sciences study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Potential vorticity and Ozone. His Tropopause study combines topics in areas such as Tropical cyclone and Geophysics.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Recent Tropical Expansion: Natural Variability or Forced Response? (39 citations)
  • Are Sudden Stratospheric Warmings Preceded by Anomalous Tropospheric Wave Activity (19 citations)
  • The influence of mixing on the stratospheric age of air changes in the 21st century (12 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Thermodynamics
  • Climatology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Environmental science, Stratosphere, Climatology, Climate model and Climate change. His work often combines Environmental science and Atmospheric sciences studies. As part of his studies on Atmospheric sciences, Thomas Birner frequently links adjacent subjects like Potential vorticity.

The Stratosphere study combines topics in areas such as Cold spell, Predictability and Troposphere. In his study, Tropopause is inextricably linked to Coupling, which falls within the broad field of Troposphere. The Natural variability and Pacific decadal oscillation research Thomas Birner does as part of his general Climatology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Range and Blocking, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
