2020 - Fellow of American Geophysical Union (AGU)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Climatology
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Climatology, Oceanography, Sea surface temperature, Atlantic Equatorial mode and Atlantic multidecadal oscillation. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Climate change and Precipitation. His work focuses on many connections between Precipitation and other disciplines, such as Tropical pacific, that overlap with his field of interest in Wet season.

His work in the fields of Oceanography, such as North Atlantic oscillation, Global change and Global warming, intersects with other areas such as Isotope fractionation. His research in Sea surface temperature intersects with topics in Atmosphere, Atmospheric pressure, Common spatial pattern, Covariance and Forcing. His study looks at the relationship between Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and topics such as Gulf Stream, which overlap with Subtropics, The arctic, Atlantic World, North Atlantic Deep Water and Subtropical ridge.

His most cited work include:

  • Model Projections of an Imminent Transition to a More Arid Climate in Southwestern North America (1671 citations)
  • Analyses of global sea surface temperature 1856–1991 (1306 citations)
  • The North Atlantic Oscillation: climatic significance and environmantal impact (1299 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Climatology, Sea surface temperature, Oceanography, Precipitation and Climate change. His study in North Atlantic oscillation, Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, Atmospheric circulation, Forcing and Tropical Atlantic is done as part of Climatology. His North Atlantic oscillation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Subtropics and Predictability.

As part of the same scientific family, Yochanan Kushnir usually focuses on Sea surface temperature, concentrating on Ocean current and intersecting with Thermohaline circulation. His Precipitation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Moisture, Annual cycle and Greenhouse gas. His work carried out in the field of Climate change brings together such families of science as Mediterranean climate and Atmospheric sciences.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Climatology (77.95%)
  • Sea surface temperature (26.67%)
  • Oceanography (25.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Climatology (77.95%)
  • Precipitation (25.13%)
  • Mediterranean climate (8.21%)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Climatology, Precipitation, Mediterranean climate, North Atlantic oscillation and Climate change. He interconnects General Circulation Model and Future climate in the investigation of issues within Climatology. The various areas that Yochanan Kushnir examines in his Precipitation study include Climate model and Forcing.

His research integrates issues of Subtropics, Paleoclimatology, Hadley cell, Physical geography and Monsoon in his study of Mediterranean climate. His study focuses on the intersection of North Atlantic oscillation and fields such as Predictability with connections in the field of Errors-in-variables models and Sea ice. In the subject of general Climate change, his work in Extreme events and Downscaling is often linked to Term and Resilience, thereby combining diverse domains of study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Climate Variability and Change of Mediterranean-Type Climates (40 citations)
  • Towards operational predictions of the near-term climate (37 citations)
  • A Euro-Mediterranean tree-ring reconstruction of the winter NAO index since 910 C.E. (19 citations)

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

  • Climate change
  • Statistics
  • Climatology

His primary areas of study are Climatology, Climate change, Heat wave, Seasonal cycle and Future climate. His specific area of interest is Climatology, where Yochanan Kushnir studies Annual cycle. His studies deal with areas such as Mediterranean climate and Predictability as well as Climate change.

The concepts of his Heat wave study are interwoven with issues in Daily maximum temperature, Middle latitudes, La Niña, Downscaling and Water resources. His studies in Seasonal cycle integrate themes in fields like Moisture convergence, Subtropical ridge, Intertropical Convergence Zone and Precipitation. Yochanan Kushnir usually deals with Future climate and limits it to topics linked to General Circulation Model and Atmospheric circulation, Jet and Ocean gyre.
