Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

Oceanography
Climate change
Ocean current

His primary areas of investigation include Climatology, Internal wave, Energy flux, Meteorology and Oceanography. His Climatology study combines topics in areas such as Stratification and Arctic. His Internal wave research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Turbulence and Geophysics.

His Energy flux research overlaps with other disciplines such as Barotropic fluid and Tidal power. His Meteorology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Baroclinity and Ridge. His study in the field of Ocean current and Boundary current is also linked to topics like Surface wave, Gravity wave and Energy budget.

His most cited work include:

Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments (COREs) (494 citations)
Tidally driven mixing in a numerical model of the ocean general circulation (323 citations)
Tidally driven mixing in a numerical model of the ocean general circulation (323 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal wave, Oceanography, Climatology, Internal tide and Geophysics. Harper L. Simmons has researched Internal wave in several fields, including Guyot and Mixed layer, Meteorology, Mesoscale meteorology. His study in the field of Baroclinity, Continental shelf and Barotropic fluid also crosses realms of South china.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Climate model, Atmospheric sciences and Arctic. His studies examine the connections between Atmospheric sciences and genetics, as well as such issues in Thermocline, with regards to Stratification. As part of one scientific family, Harper L. Simmons deals mainly with the area of Internal tide, narrowing it down to issues related to the Geodesy, and often Bathymetry and Drag.

He most often published in these fields:

Internal wave (45.57%)
Oceanography (46.84%)
Climatology (40.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

Oceanography (46.84%)
Climatology (40.51%)
Mechanics (11.39%)

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

Harper L. Simmons spends much of his time researching Oceanography, Climatology, Mechanics, Internal wave and Internal tide. His work on Current, Beaufort Gyre and Arctic ice pack as part of general Oceanography study is frequently linked to Canyon and Subduction, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. The concepts of his Climatology study are interwoven with issues in Turbulent mixing, Flow response and Downscaling.

His work on Wake and Turbulence as part of general Mechanics research is often related to Inertial frame of reference and Vorticity, thus linking different fields of science. His Internal wave study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Altimeter. Harper L. Simmons regularly ties together related areas like Continental shelf in his Internal tide studies.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

Internal Tide Attenuation in the North Pacific (7 citations)
FLEAT: A Multiscale Observational and Modeling Program to Understand How Topography Affects Flows in the Western North Pacific (4 citations)
Dynamical Downscaling of Equatorial Flow Response to Palau (3 citations)
