  • 1991 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science

Overview

Ann E. Gargett is affiliated with Old Dominion University in the United States and specializes in Earth and Planetary Sciences, with a focus on Oceanography, Atmospheric Science, Astronomy and Astrophysics, and Global and Planetary Change. Their research extensively covers topics such as Oceanographic and Atmospheric Processes, Ocean Waves and Remote Sensing, Tropical and Extratropical Cyclones Research, Space Exploration and Regulation, and Climate Variability and Models.

Their recent publications include:

  • Forcing Space: An Alternative to Regime Diagrams for Predicting Characteristics of Turbulence in the Ocean Surface Mixing Layer (2022, Journal of Physical Oceanography)
  • Winds, Waves, and Turbulence on a Shallow Continental Shelf during Passage of a Tropical Storm (2020, Journal of Physical Oceanography)
  • Predicting Turbulent Vertical Velocity in the Ocean Surface Layer under Mixed Convective and Wind/Wave Forcing (2023, Journal of Physical Oceanography)
  • Forcing Space Data (2021, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research))
  • Forcing Space Data (2021, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research))

Gargett frequently publishes in the Journal of Physical Oceanography and Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research).

The scientist has collaborated notably with Dana K. Savidge on several projects.

In recognition of their contributions, they were awarded the title of Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1991 by the Academy of Science.
