Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Atmosphere of Earth

Zhien Wang mainly investigates Lidar, Meteorology, Remote sensing, Atmospheric sciences and Cirrus. The concepts of his Lidar study are interwoven with issues in Altitude, Troposphere and Aerosol. His research integrates issues of Cloud top, Radiative transfer, Climate model and Liquid water content in his study of Meteorology.

Zhien Wang interconnects Ice crystals, Optical depth and Ice cloud in the investigation of issues within Remote sensing. Within one scientific family, Zhien Wang focuses on topics pertaining to Convection under Atmospheric sciences, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Mesoscale meteorology, Jet and Boundary layer. He focuses mostly in the field of Cirrus, narrowing it down to topics relating to Tropopause and, in certain cases, Infrared, Atmospheric Infrared Sounder and Cloud cover.

His most cited work include:

  • The CloudSat mission and the A-train: a new dimension of space-based observations of clouds and precipitation (1565 citations)
  • CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation (668 citations)
  • In situ detection of biological particles in cloud ice-crystals (329 citations)

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

Zhien Wang mostly deals with Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Lidar, Remote sensing and Aerosol. His study in the field of Troposphere also crosses realms of Ice nucleus. His Meteorology research incorporates elements of Cloud top, Radiative transfer, Liquid water content and Cloud physics.

His Lidar study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Backscatter, Optical depth, Doppler radar and Extinction. His work deals with themes such as Wavelength, Water vapor and Ice cloud, which intersect with Remote sensing. His work on Mineral dust as part of general Aerosol study is frequently connected to Materials science, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (53.19%)
  • Meteorology (48.40%)
  • Lidar (47.34%)

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

  • Atmospheric sciences (53.19%)
  • Lidar (47.34%)
  • Meteorology (48.40%)

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

Zhien Wang spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Lidar, Meteorology, Convection and Remote sensing. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Climatology, Optical depth, Aerosol and Cloud cover. The Lidar study combines topics in areas such as Entrainment, Drizzle, Cloud condensation nuclei and Climate model.

His work in Meteorology tackles topics such as Cloud top which are related to areas like Cloud albedo, Liquid water content and Cloud fraction. The study incorporates disciplines such as Drop and Mesoscale meteorology in addition to Convection. His Remote sensing research includes elements of Wavelength and Temporal resolution.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The 2015 Plains Elevated Convection at Night Field Project (133 citations)
  • Mixed-Phase Clouds: Progress and Challenges (59 citations)
  • Tightening of tropical ascent and high clouds key to precipitation change in a warmer climate. (55 citations)

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

  • Meteorology
  • Optics
  • Infrared

Zhien Wang focuses on Atmospheric sciences, Climatology, Convection, Cloud cover and Troposphere. His Atmospheric sciences study incorporates themes from Atmosphere, Optical depth, Aerosol, Boundary layer and Lidar. His Aerosol study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Convective cloud, Water cycle and Altitude.

Lidar and Wind speed are commonly linked in his work. Zhien Wang has included themes like Climate model, Numerical weather prediction, Precipitation, Cloud physics and International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project in his Troposphere study. His Ice crystals study improves the overall literature in Meteorology.
