2017 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • World War II

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Geodesy, Bathymetry, Unix, Public domain and Computer graphics. His Geodesy research includes themes of Meteorology and Gravity anomaly. His work deals with themes such as Seafloor spreading, Parallel Ocean Program and Bathymetric chart, which intersect with Meteorology.

His Bathymetry study which covers Lithosphere that intersects with Plume, Geochemistry, Cretaceous, Subduction and Basalt. Throughout his Unix studies, Walter H. F. Smith incorporates elements of other sciences such as Workstation, Contour line, Perspective, Map projection and Page description language. Walter H. F. Smith integrates several fields in his works, including Computer graphics, Raw data, The Internet, Plot, Set and Process.

His most cited work include:

  • New, improved version of generic mapping tools released (5715 citations)
  • Global Sea Floor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship Depth Soundings (3632 citations)
  • Free software helps map and display data (3613 citations)

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

Geodesy, Altimeter, Bathymetry, Remote sensing and Satellite are his primary areas of study. The Geodesy study combines topics in areas such as Gravity, Tectonics and Geophysics. His Altimeter research is included under the broader classification of Meteorology.

His research integrates issues of Seafloor spreading, Submarine pipeline and Seamount in his study of Bathymetry. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Seamount, narrowing it down to issues related to the Lithosphere, and often Mantle. Many of his research projects under Remote sensing are closely connected to Waveform with Waveform, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Geodesy (45.45%)
  • Altimeter (38.84%)
  • Bathymetry (34.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Altimeter (38.84%)
  • Geodesy (45.45%)
  • Remote sensing (23.14%)

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

Walter H. F. Smith focuses on Altimeter, Geodesy, Remote sensing, Waveform and Bathymetry. Altimeter is the subject of his research, which falls under Meteorology. His Meteorology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Footprint and Ka band.

His Geodesy research integrates issues from Amplitude and Marine gravity. His Remote sensing research incorporates elements of Oceanic basin, Gravity anomaly and Satellite image. His biological study focuses on Abyssal hill.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Generic Mapping Tools Version 6 (146 citations)
  • Global Bathymetry and Topography at 15 Arc Sec: SRTM15+ (64 citations)
  • Fully Focused SAR Altimetry: Theory and Applications (28 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Oceanography
  • World War II

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Altimeter, Geodesy, Bathymetry, Waveform and Remote sensing. The various areas that he examines in his Altimeter study include Amplitude, Free parameter and Wave height. His Geodesy research includes themes of Wind wave and Interferometry.

His Bathymetry research includes elements of Iceberg, Meteorology, Mesoscale meteorology, Arc and Digital elevation model. Waveform is intertwined with Acoustics, Eigenvalues and eigenvectors, Spectral density, Radar and Gaussian in his study. His research in Remote sensing intersects with topics in Visibility and Footprint.
