Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

Xinzhao Chu focuses on Lidar, Atmospheric sciences, Polar mesospheric clouds, Altitude and Environmental science. His Lidar research includes themes of Wavelength, Geophysics, Mesopause, Meteorology and Thermosphere. In his study, Stratosphere, Gravitational wave, Hodograph and Geodesy is strongly linked to Phase velocity, which falls under the umbrella field of Wavelength.

His studies deal with areas such as Doppler effect and Wavenumber as well as Meteorology. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Atmosphere and Gravity wave. Xinzhao Chu has included themes like Solstice, Latitude and Southern Hemisphere in his Polar mesospheric clouds study.

His most cited work include:

  • Comparison of meteor radar and Na Doppler lidar measurements of winds in the mesopause region above Maui, Hawaii (80 citations)
  • Seasonal variations of the Na and Fe layers at the South Pole and their implications for the chemistry and general circulation of the polar mesosphere (75 citations)
  • Lidar observations of neutral Fe layers and fast gravity waves in the thermosphere (110–155 km) at McMurdo (77.8°S, 166.7°E), Antarctica (72 citations)

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

Xinzhao Chu mainly focuses on Lidar, Atmospheric sciences, Thermosphere, Environmental science and Altitude. His Lidar research includes elements of Mesopause, Gravity wave, Meteorology and Doppler effect. The study incorporates disciplines such as Wavelength, Polar vortex and Atmospheric temperature in addition to Gravity wave.

His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Atmosphere, Climatology and Latitude. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Orders of magnitude and Mesosphere. Xinzhao Chu works mostly in the field of Stratosphere, limiting it down to topics relating to Wavenumber and, in certain cases, Potential energy, as a part of the same area of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Lidar (70.63%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (65.73%)
  • Thermosphere (30.77%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Lidar (70.63%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (65.73%)
  • Environmental science (25.87%)

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

Xinzhao Chu spends much of his time researching Lidar, Atmospheric sciences, Environmental science, Gravity wave and Thermosphere. His research integrates issues of Airglow, Geophysics and Doppler effect in his study of Lidar. His work carried out in the field of Atmospheric sciences brings together such families of science as Atmosphere and Ionosphere.

The various areas that Xinzhao Chu examines in his Gravity wave study include Wavelength and Polar vortex. His Wavelength study combines topics in areas such as Gravitational wave, Polarization and Wavenumber. His work in Polar vortex tackles topics such as Altitude which are related to areas like Observatory.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Lidar observations of persistent gravity waves with periods of 3–10 h in the Antarctic middle and upper atmosphere at McMurdo (77.83°S, 166.67°E) (38 citations)
  • Lidar observations of persistent gravity waves with periods of 3–10 h in the Antarctic middle and upper atmosphere at McMurdo (77.83°S, 166.67°E) (38 citations)
  • Lidar observations of stratospheric gravity waves from 2011 to 2015 at McMurdo (77.84°S, 166.69°E), Antarctica: 1. Vertical wavelengths, periods, and frequency and vertical wave number spectra (33 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Astronomy
  • Optics

His primary areas of study are Wavelength, Atmospheric sciences, Gravitational wave, Lidar and Gravity wave. His research on Atmospheric sciences focuses in particular on Stratosphere. Xinzhao Chu combines subjects such as Wind speed, Troposphere, Geophysics and Altitude with his study of Stratosphere.

His study in Gravitational wave is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Remote sensing, Acoustics and Internal wave. His study on Lidar is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Thermosphere. In his work, Atmospheric temperature, Spectral line and Remote sensing is strongly intertwined with Wavenumber, which is a subfield of Gravity wave.
