Abstract

Dr. Joanne Simpson's nine specific research contributions to the field of meteorology during her 50-year career—1) the hot tower hypothesis, 2) hurricanes, 3) airflow and clouds over heated islands, 4) cloud models, 5) trade winds and their role in cumulus development, 6) air–sea interaction, 7) cloud–cloud interactions and mergers, 8) waterspouts, and 9) TRMM science—will be described and discussed in this paper.
