His Satellite research includes elements of Outgoing longwave radiation, Radiometer, Depth sounding, Optical depth and Radiation.

His most cited work include:

  • AIRS/AMSU/HSB on the Aqua mission: design, science objectives, data products, and processing systems (1090 citations)
  • AIRS: Improving Weather Forecasting and Providing New Data on Greenhouse Gases. (473 citations)
  • The Safety and Efficacy of Infliximab in Moderate to Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (345 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Remote sensing, Meteorology, Environmental science, Radiance and Satellite. In general Remote sensing, his work in Atmospheric sounding is often linked to NPOESS linking many areas of study. His research in Meteorology intersects with topics in Cloud computing and Geostationary orbit.

Within one scientific family, William L. Smith focuses on topics pertaining to Spectrometer under Radiance, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Geosynchronous orbit and Brightness temperature. His Satellite study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hyperspectral imaging, Numerical weather prediction, Weather forecasting and Radiometer. His Radiative transfer research incorporates elements of Infrared window, Cirrus and Emissivity.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Remote sensing (84.80%)
  • Meteorology (57.60%)
  • Environmental science (51.22%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Remote sensing (84.80%)
  • Environmental science (51.22%)
  • Meteorology (57.60%)

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

Remote sensing, Environmental science, Meteorology, Satellite and Radiance are his primary areas of study. His Remote sensing research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Infrared and Weather forecasting. His study looks at the relationship between Meteorology and topics such as Data products, which overlap with Weather prediction.

His study in Satellite is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Payload, Depth sounding, Climate model, Lidar and Atmospheric temperature. He studied Depth sounding and Geosynchronous orbit that intersect with Geostationary orbit. His biological study deals with issues like Atmospheric radiative transfer codes, which deal with fields such as Cloud fraction.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Achieving Climate Change Absolute Accuracy in Orbit (186 citations)
  • Surface Irradiances of Edition 4.0 Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) Energy Balanced and Filled (EBAF) Data Product (102 citations)
  • Advances in simultaneous atmospheric profile and cloud parameter regression based retrieval from high‐spectral resolution radiance measurements (26 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Infrared

William L. Smith mainly investigates Environmental science, Meteorology, Remote sensing, Satellite and Radiance. His Convection and Data assimilation study in the realm of Meteorology connects with subjects such as Assimilation, East coast and West coast. He has included themes like Artificial neural network, Cloud computing and Infrared in his Remote sensing study.

His Satellite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Hyperspectral imaging, Depth sounding, Climate change, Climate model and Radiosonde. His work is dedicated to discovering how Radiosonde, Atmospheric temperature are connected with Weather forecasting and Data processing and other disciplines. As a part of the same scientific study, William L. Smith usually deals with the Radiance, concentrating on Atmospheric radiative transfer codes and frequently concerns with Atmospheric sounding.
