Joanne contributed to many areas of the atmospheric sciences, particularly in the field of Tropical Meteorology. She has researched hot towers, hurricanes, the trade winds, and helped develop the TRMM which stands for Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. The TRMM is important even in todays environment becuase it helpds predict weather and climate. In 1958 she collaborated wth Herbert Reihl which was considered the father of Tropical Meteorology and calculated the average static moist energy and how it varied vertically theoughout the atmosphere. It goes without saying that Joanne Simpson was a very influential and intelligent person but woman really admired her work. Due to the fact that Simpson was the first American woman to receive a PHD in Meteorology this helped other female scientists persue there dreams and also actually give them a chance to work on the scientific field.
