Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Tropical cyclone

His main research concerns Climatology, Sea surface temperature, Oceanography, Planetary boundary layer and Wind speed. W. Timothy Liu brings together Climatology and Environmental science to produce work in his papers. He has included themes like Ocean current and Tropical instability waves in his Sea surface temperature study.

His Oceanography research focuses on Atmosphere and how it connects with Pacific ocean, Trade wind and Bathymetry. His Planetary boundary layer research includes themes of Wind shear and Atmospheric sciences, Radiosonde. His research investigates the link between Wind shear and topics such as Buoy that cross with problems in Scatterometer.

His most cited work include:

  • Summer upwelling in the South China Sea and its role in regional climate variations (389 citations)
  • New evidence for enhanced ocean primary production triggered by tropical cyclone (324 citations)
  • Role of Narrow Mountains in Large-Scale Organization of Asian Monsoon Convection* (218 citations)

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

W. Timothy Liu focuses on Climatology, Environmental science, Sea surface temperature, Scatterometer and Meteorology. W. Timothy Liu interconnects Altimeter, Oceanography and Precipitation in the investigation of issues within Climatology. The Sea surface temperature study combines topics in areas such as Planetary boundary layer, Sensible heat and Mixed layer.

His Scatterometer research integrates issues from Empirical orthogonal functions, Annual cycle, Equator, Extratropical cyclone and Physical oceanography. His work on Numerical weather prediction, Storm, Precipitable water and Tropical cyclone as part of general Meteorology research is frequently linked to Data set, bridging the gap between disciplines. His biological study deals with issues like Wind shear, which deal with fields such as Atmospheric instability.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (64.65%)
  • Environmental science (49.49%)
  • Sea surface temperature (34.34%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Climatology (64.65%)
  • Environmental science (49.49%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (21.21%)

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

W. Timothy Liu mainly focuses on Climatology, Environmental science, Atmospheric sciences, Sea surface temperature and Wind stress. Climatology is closely attributed to Precipitation in his study. His Precipitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Moisture and Monsoon.

Combining a variety of fields, including Environmental science, Altimeter and Diurnal cycle, are what the author presents in his essays. Atmospheric instability, Pressure gradient, Surface stress and Troposphere is closely connected to Mesoscale meteorology in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Sea surface temperature. His Wind stress study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bloom, Wind shear and Ekman transport.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Investigation of the 2006 drought and 2007 flood extremes at the Southern Great Plains through an integrative analysis of observations (55 citations)
  • Estimation of Subsurface Temperature Anomaly in the North Atlantic Using a Self-Organizing Map Neural Network (24 citations)
  • A dipole pattern of the sea surface height anomaly in the North Atlantic: 1990s–2000s (14 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Tropical cyclone

W. Timothy Liu mostly deals with Climatology, Gulf Stream, Anomaly, Sea surface temperature and Geopotential height. The study incorporates disciplines such as Pluvial and Atmosphere in addition to Climatology. His research in Pluvial intersects with topics in Thunderstorm, Mesonet, Latent heat, Moisture and Teleconnection.

His research integrates issues of Atmospheric sciences, Troposphere, Boundary current and Mesoscale meteorology in his study of Atmosphere. He combines Geopotential height and Environmental science in his research. His Sea-surface height research is multidisciplinary, relying on both North Atlantic oscillation and Atlantic Equatorial mode.
