AMS Awards
One of the most gratifying experiences we can all share is to witness the excitement and gratitude of our colleagues when we honor them for their contributions to the sciences and services of our Society. Each year the American Meteorological Society presents more than 25 awards to individuals, teams of people, and institutions for their outstanding contributions to the atmospheric and related sciences, as defined broadly by the Society. I encourage you to nominate scientists, practitioners, broadcasters, and others you believe are deserving of one or more of these prestigious awards. The awards are open to all sectors of the Society – academia, government and industry. For a listing and description of the AMS awards, please see http://www.ametsoc.org/awards. You will find information on the nominating process for each of these awards on the AMS website. A nomination letter, CV and bibliography, along with up to three letters of support, is all it takes to begin the process. If you would like to recommend someone as a Fellow of the AMS, the nominee must be a member of the Society and must have made strong contributions to the atmospheric or related sciences over a period of years. In all cases, nominations are considered for three years and so nominees who are not successful this year will automatically be considered again in 2010 and 2011. To avoid disappointment, please take care not to share the nomination with the nominee. We look forward to receiving your recommendations by the 1 May deadline. Best wishes,
Tom Karl
