Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climate change
  • Oceanography
  • Climatology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Climate change, La Niña, Oceanography and Climate model. His work deals with themes such as Atmospheric sciences and Extreme weather, which intersect with Climatology. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Southern oscillation, Severe weather, Equator and Greenhouse gas.

In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of La Niña, Throughflow is strongly linked to Anomaly. His Climate model research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Thermocline, Mean radiant temperature, Westerlies, Greenhouse effect and Southern Hemisphere. In his research, Multivariate ENSO index is intimately related to Greenhouse warming, which falls under the overarching field of Pacific ocean.

His most cited work include:

  • Increasing frequency of extreme El Niño events due to greenhouse warming (1095 citations)
  • Increasing frequency of extreme El Niño events due to greenhouse warming (1095 citations)
  • Recent intensification of wind-driven circulation in the Pacific and the ongoing warming hiatus (855 citations)

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

Climatology, Sea surface temperature, Oceanography, Climate change and Climate model are his primary areas of study. His Climatology study deals with Atmospheric sciences intersecting with Convection. His Sea surface temperature research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Middle latitudes, Anomaly, Equator and Upwelling.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Southern Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere, Multivariate ENSO index and Greenhouse gas in addition to Climate model. Wenju Cai has researched El Niño Southern Oscillation in several fields, including Greenhouse warming and Monsoon. The various areas that he examines in his Indian Ocean Dipole study include Thermocline, Walker circulation and Coupled model intercomparison project.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (114.74%)
  • Sea surface temperature (36.99%)
  • Oceanography (33.82%)

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

  • Climatology (114.74%)
  • El Niño Southern Oscillation (36.42%)
  • Sea surface temperature (36.99%)

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

Wenju Cai mostly deals with Climatology, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Sea surface temperature, Indian Ocean Dipole and Oceanography. His Climatology research includes elements of Global warming, Coupled model intercomparison project and Greenhouse warming. The Global warming study combines topics in areas such as Stratification and Climate model.

His study looks at the intersection of Greenhouse warming and topics like Teleconnection with Flooding. His studies deal with areas such as Atmospheric convection, Internal variability and Tropical Atlantic as well as El Niño Southern Oscillation. He has included themes like Tropical pacific and Troposphere in his Sea surface temperature study.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Pantropical Climate Interactions (183 citations)
  • Pantropical Climate Interactions (183 citations)
  • Historical change of El Niño properties sheds light on future changes of extreme El Niño. (61 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Climate change
  • Climatology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Indian Ocean Dipole, El Niño Southern Oscillation, Troposphere and Greenhouse warming. His studies in Climatology integrate themes in fields like Climate model and Coupled model intercomparison project. He interconnects Thermocline and Geophysics in the investigation of issues within Indian Ocean Dipole.

His study looks at the relationship between El Niño Southern Oscillation and topics such as Precipitation, which overlap with Spring, Atmospheric model and Internal variability. His study in Greenhouse warming is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Water mass, Flooding and Teleconnection. His research in Forcing intersects with topics in Tropical Atlantic and Atmospheric circulation.
