Simpson contributed to many areas of the atmospheric sciences, particularly in the field of tropical meteorology.

He is known for his research on past Atlantic hurricane seasons, and has been called one of the "fathers of tropical meteorology".

His specialties include satellite and radar interpretation, short range forecasting, weather observing, and tropical meteorology.

Later, at M.I.T., I was asked to teach a course in tropical meteorology, which included hurricanes.

He spent a number of years in the American Air Force, where he made some important contributions towards satellite observations and tropical meteorology.

Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere program, a research program in tropical meteorology.

He was a fellow of the American Meteorological Society and sat on its committee on hurricanes and tropical meteorology.

Numerical Weather Prediction is a main focus in understanding air-sea interaction, tropical meteorology, atmospheric predictability, and tropospheric/stratospheric processes.

Tropical meteorology research at AOML is focused on advancing the understanding and prediction of hurricanes and other tropical weather.

AOML's mission is to conduct basic and applied research in oceanography, tropical meteorology, atmospheric and oceanic chemistry, and acoustics.

Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM)

Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune, has a 45 terraflop/s machine, called Prithvi, which is being used for climate research and operational forecasting.

He served as chair of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclone.

American Meteorological Society Carl-Gustaf Rossby Research Medal (1979) Dr. Riehl wrote the first textbook on Tropical Meteorology.

The Laboratory's research themes (oceans and climate, coastal ecosystems, and hurricanes and tropical meteorology) employ a cross-disciplinary approach, conducted through collaborative interactions with national and international research and environmental forecasting institutions.

Sadler was the author of many books and essays on tropical meteorology including Average Cloudiness in the Tropics from Satellite Observations (1969) and Pacific Ocean Cloudiness from Satellite Observations (1976).

According to Tom Schroeder, director of the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research, "He was one of the foremost meteorologists of his time, and one of the founders of tropical meteorology as a discipline."

Gandikota V. Rao (July 15, 1934 in Vizianagaram, India - July 31, 2004 in Mexico) was an Indian-American meteorologist; a world renowned expert on tropical meteorology, monsoon, tropical cyclones, and tropical cyclone tornadoes.

Other topics include satellite meteorology, weather chart analysis, weather radar, weather products, tropical meteorology, synoptic level analytical meteorology, weather prognosis techniques, forecasting weather elements to include severe weather, synoptic lab, forecasting lab, and a unit on the weather career field and weather equipment.

He developed and taught graduate level courses on Tropical Meteorology targeted towards K-12 teachers for 7 years, authored science experiments in a children's magazine for three years, created a Severe Weather Poster for NOAA that was distributed nationally to 50,000 teachers by the National Science Teachers Association.
