Gravity currents in the laboratory, atmosphere, and ocean

JE Simpson - Annual review of fluid mechanics, 1982 - annualreviews.org
A gravity current, or" density current," is the flow of one fluid within another caused by the
density difference between the fluids. The difference in specific weight that provides the …

The accessory optic system

JI Simpson - Annual review of neuroscience, 1984 - annualreviews.org
Despite its name, the accessory optic system (AOS) is a primary visual system. Not only do
retinal ganglion cell axons constitute a major input to AOS nuclei, but the AOS contributes …

Superhydrophobic materials and coatings: a review

JT Simpson, SR Hunter, T Aytug - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
Over the past few years, the scientific community, as well as the world's coatings industry
has seen the introduction of oxide/polymer-based superhydrophobic surfaces and coatings …

[HTML][HTML] Genome sequencing in microfabricated high-density picolitre reactors

M Margulies, M Egholm, WE Altman, S Attiya, JS Bader… - Nature, 2005 - nature.com
The proliferation of large-scale DNA-sequencing projects in recent years has driven a
search for alternative methods to reduce time and cost. Here we describe a scalable, highly …

Tidal straining, density currents, and stirring in the control of estuarine stratification

JH Simpson, J Brown, J Matthews, G Allen - Estuaries, 1990 - Springer
Buoyancy input as fresh water exerts a stratifying influence in estuaries and adjacent coastal
waters. Predicting the development and breakdown of such stratification is an inherently …

Fronts in the Irish sea

JH Simpson, JR Hunter - Nature, 1974 - nature.com
A MARKED discontinuity in the sea surface temperature with horizontal gradients up to 1° C
km− 1 is often observed in the western Irish Sea during the summer. This feature is the …

[BOOK][B] Sea breeze and local winds

JE Simpson - 1994 - books.google.com
The sea breeze affects our lives in many ways. It controls our local weather, not only on the
coast but also in many districts inland. Air pollution and smog, also the distribution of …

The slumping of gravity currents

HE Huppert, JE Simpson - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1980 - cambridge.org
Experimental results for the release of a fixed volume of one homogeneous fluid into another
of slightly different density are presented. From these results and those obtained by previous …
