Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Oceanography
  • Meteorology
  • Statistics

His primary areas of study are Stratification, Oceanography, Region of freshwater influence, Climatology and Acoustic Doppler current profiler. He has included themes like Pycnocline, Atmospheric sciences, Water column and Geometry in his Stratification study. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Continental shelf, Estuarine water circulation, Convection and Temperature salinity diagrams.

His Thermocline, Current and Estuary study, which is part of a larger body of work in Oceanography, is frequently linked to Phytoplankton, bridging the gap between disciplines. As a part of the same scientific study, John H. Simpson usually deals with the Region of freshwater influence, concentrating on Hydrology and frequently concerns with Outflow. John H. Simpson interconnects Subtropics, Precipitation, Discharge and Tributary in the investigation of issues within Climatology.

His most cited work include:

  • Tidal straining, density currents, and stirring in the control of estuarine stratification (688 citations)
  • Models of stratification and frontal movement in shelf seas (289 citations)
  • Physical processes in the ROFI regime (209 citations)

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

Oceanography, Stratification, Water column, Turbulence and Atmospheric sciences are his primary areas of study. In general Oceanography, his work in Current, Biological oceanography, Continental shelf and Thermocline is often linked to Phytoplankton linking many areas of study. When carried out as part of a general Stratification research project, his work on Region of freshwater influence is frequently linked to work in Dissipation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Water column study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Wind stress, Pycnocline, Slack water and Richardson number. In the field of Turbulence, his study on Turbulence kinetic energy and Reynolds stress overlaps with subjects such as Mixing and Surface wave. The concepts of his Atmospheric sciences study are interwoven with issues in Convection and Latitude.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Oceanography (50.36%)
  • Stratification (36.50%)
  • Water column (27.01%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Oceanography (50.36%)
  • Biological oceanography (8.03%)
  • Stratification (36.50%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Oceanography, Biological oceanography, Stratification, Wind stress and Climatology. His work on Bay, Upwelling, Continental shelf and Climate change is typically connected to Continental shelf pump as part of general Oceanography study, connecting several disciplines of science. His studies in Stratification integrate themes in fields like Seiche, Baroclinity and Water column.

John H. Simpson focuses mostly in the field of Water column, narrowing it down to topics relating to Buoyancy and, in certain cases, Estuarine water circulation and Convective mixing. John H. Simpson frequently studies issues relating to Atmospheric sciences and Climatology. His work deals with themes such as Sea breeze, Annual cycle and Latitude, which intersect with Atmospheric sciences.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Introduction to the Physical and Biological Oceanography of Shelf Seas (109 citations)
  • Observations over an annual cycle and simulations of wind-forced oscillations near the critical latitude for diurnal-inertial resonance (19 citations)
  • Measuring Turbulent Dissipation Using a Tethered ADCP (17 citations)

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

  • Oceanography
  • Statistics
  • Meteorology

John H. Simpson mainly focuses on Climatology, Stratification, Dissipation, Atmospheric sciences and Oceanography. His study in Stratification is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Thermocline, Internal wave, Seiche and Baroclinity. His studies deal with areas such as Barotropic fluid, Pycnocline, Water column and Boundary layer as well as Seiche.

His Atmospheric sciences research integrates issues from Sea breeze and Annual cycle. His research in the fields of Biological oceanography and Sea level overlaps with other disciplines such as Phytoplankton, Spring bloom and Biological significance. The Turbulence kinetic energy study combines topics in areas such as Buoy, Seabed and Rotation.
