Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Solar wind
  • Electron

His primary scientific interests are in Solar wind, Geomagnetic storm, Geophysics, Interplanetary magnetic field and Earth's magnetic field. His Solar wind study combines topics in areas such as Magnetic reconnection, Astrophysics and Substorm. His studies in Geomagnetic storm integrate themes in fields like Storm, Ring current, Atmospheric sciences, Magnetic cloud and Solar maximum.

Walter D. Gonzalez studied Geophysics and Magnetosheath that intersect with Computational physics. Walter D. Gonzalez has included themes like Coronal mass ejection, Interplanetary medium and Plasma sheet in his Interplanetary magnetic field study. His Earth's magnetic field research integrates issues from Amplitude and Meteorology.

His most cited work include:

  • What is a geomagnetic storm (1430 citations)
  • Origin of interplanetary southward magnetic fields responsible for major magnetic storms near solar maximum (1978–1979) (482 citations)
  • Criteria of interplanetary parameters causing intense magnetic storms (Dst < −100 nT) (430 citations)

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

Walter D. Gonzalez spends much of his time researching Geophysics, Geomagnetic storm, Solar wind, Interplanetary spaceflight and Earth's magnetic field. In his research on the topic of Geophysics, Computational physics is strongly related with Magnetosphere. He interconnects Ring current, Coronal mass ejection, Magnetic cloud, Atmospheric sciences and Astrophysics in the investigation of issues within Geomagnetic storm.

His Coronal mass ejection research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Astronomy and Corona. His research integrates issues of Space weather and Magnetic reconnection in his study of Solar wind. His study on Interplanetary medium is often connected to Ejecta as part of broader study in Interplanetary spaceflight.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geophysics (43.08%)
  • Geomagnetic storm (38.99%)
  • Solar wind (39.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Solar wind (39.62%)
  • Geophysics (43.08%)
  • Magnetosphere (21.38%)

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

Walter D. Gonzalez mainly focuses on Solar wind, Geophysics, Magnetosphere, Magnetopause and Atmospheric sciences. His Solar wind research incorporates themes from Van Allen radiation belt and Earth's magnetic field. His study looks at the intersection of Earth's magnetic field and topics like Ionosphere with Solar flare.

His Geophysics course of study focuses on Plasma sheet and Solar prominence. His Coronal mass ejection research includes elements of Geomagnetic storm and Astronomy, Space weather. His study focuses on the intersection of Geomagnetic storm and fields such as Ring current with connections in the field of Thermosphere.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Interplanetary Causes of Magnetic Storms: A Review (304 citations)
  • Solar cycle dependence of High-Intensity Long-Duration Continuous AE Activity (HILDCAA) events, relativistic electron predictors? (63 citations)
  • Interplanetary origins of moderate (−100 nT < Dst ≤ −50 nT) geomagnetic storms during solar cycle 23 (1996–2008) (49 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Solar wind
  • Electron

Walter D. Gonzalez focuses on Solar wind, Coronal mass ejection, Geomagnetic storm, Solar cycle 23 and Atmospheric sciences.
