Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Climate change
  • Meteorology

His primary scientific interests are in Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Meteorology, Climate model and Radiative forcing. His Atmospheric sciences study combines topics in areas such as Radiative transfer, Sea surface temperature and Aerosol. His Climatology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Atmosphere, Climate commitment, Greenhouse gas, Atmospheric model and Community Climate System Model.

His research in Meteorology intersects with topics in Satellite and Biogeochemical cycle. His ERA-40 research includes themes of Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project, Climate Forecast System and Simple Ocean Data Assimilation. His studies deal with areas such as Meteorological reanalysis and Hindcast as well as NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis.

His most cited work include:

  • The NCEP/NCAR 40-Year Reanalysis Project (23134 citations)
  • The NCEP–NCAR 50-Year Reanalysis: Monthly Means CD-ROM and Documentation (3619 citations)
  • Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and in Radiative Forcing (3610 citations)

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

William D. Collins mainly focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Climate model, Climate change and Precipitation. His studies in Atmospheric sciences integrate themes in fields like Meteorology, Atmospheric model, Radiative forcing and Radiative transfer, Shortwave. His studies link Satellite with Meteorology.

The Radiative forcing study combines topics in areas such as Forcing and Greenhouse gas. His research investigates the connection with Climatology and areas like Water vapor which intersect with concerns in Troposphere. The study incorporates disciplines such as General Circulation Model, Range, Earth system science and Extreme weather in addition to Climate model.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (58.72%)
  • Climatology (51.68%)
  • Climate model (37.31%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (58.72%)
  • Precipitation (25.38%)
  • Climatology (51.68%)

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

Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation, Climatology, Climate model and Climate change are his primary areas of study. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Earth system model, Radiative forcing, Global change and Radiative transfer, Shortwave. Weather Research and Forecasting Model is the focus of his Climatology research.

The various areas that William D. Collins examines in his Climate model study include Range, Resolution and Extreme weather. His work on Climate system as part of general Climate change study is frequently linked to Volcano, bridging the gap between disciplines. His study looks at the intersection of Forcing and topics like Solver with Meteorology.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Taking climate model evaluation to the next level (123 citations)
  • Taking climate model evaluation to the next level (123 citations)
  • An independent assessment of anthropogenic attribution statements for recent extreme temperature and rainfall events (58 citations)

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

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

William D. Collins focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Climatology, Climate model and Radiative forcing. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Earth system model, Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere, Carbon cycle and Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Remote sensing, Tropical cyclone, Biomass and Disturbance.

His research in Climatology is mostly concerned with Extratropical cyclone. He has researched Climate model in several fields, including Observational study and Earth system science. His Radiative forcing research incorporates themes from Radiative transfer, Shortwave and Forcing.
