Dr. Robert Simpson (1912 - 2014) has passed
At the age of 102, he was one of the last of the true pioneers of tropical meteorology. You undoubtedly know him from the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale. He and his late wife Joanne (1923 - 2010) contributed greatly to the wealth of knowledge of tropical cyclones that we have today. RIP
