Outstanding Publication

"For original research published as papers or books, or for works that connect atmospheric science with other
disciplines or public policy."

Thomas Horst, for his participation in two recent articles describing work on the Horizontal Array Turbulence Study, which revealed the need for new models of a type of turbulence known as subfilter scale. (“HATS: Field observations to obtain spatially filtered turbulence fields from crosswind arrays of sonic anemometers in the atmospheric surface layer,” Journal of Atmospheric Science, 41, 1566–1581, 2004; and “Structure of subfilter-scale fluxes in the atmospheric surface layer with application to large-eddy simulation modeling,” Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 482, 101–139, 2003).

Mentoring

"For exemplary and sustained mentoring efforts that directly enhance one or more persons’ career development."

Jim Wilson, for providing meaningful mentorship to a broad range of people, from junior and senior scientists, administrators, and engineers to various levels of students.
