NOAA Administrator's Awards

James Churnside and James Wilson
for their scientific research and engineering development in their conception, design, and engineering development of the NOAA Fish Lidar.

2001 Awards

DOC Gold Medal

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE GOLD MEDAL AWARD

Radar Meteorology and Oceanography Division - ETL
For the theoretical, experimental, and engineering advances that led to the development of a new technology - an autonomous, ground-based, remote-sensing system to unambiguously detect dangerous in-flight icing conditions in clouds. The system will be deployed near large airports where icing hazards are frequent; providing pilots and air traffic controllers with accurate, real-time warnings of icing conditions. This technology will save lives and millions of dollars in property damage.
DOC Bronze Medal

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BRONZE MEDAL AWARD

Jorgeann Hiebert For the development of educational outreach programs for minority students and teachers to increase knowledge of science and enhance NOAA's future workforce.
  Richard Beeler For his participation in the development and implementation of the NOAA Enterprise Messaging System, resulting in a major consolidation of NOAA email systems.

NOAA Research EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR

Thomas E. Ayers - for playing a critical role in constructing, testing, improving, and deploying five millimeter cloud radars used at several international sites. Because of the importance of this radar as a new atmospheric sensor, it has been commercialized through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between ETL and Radian.

Merri Richeson - for her ability to be a stabilizing influence during a time of turmoil and change for the people of the Laboratory.

Scott Sandberg - for his dedication to the job of insturment deployment and his pursuit of getting the job done right many times under extreme conditions and short deadlines.
