CMOS / SCMO
2002 Prizewinners / Lauréats des
prix 2002
(Awarded at the 37th CMOS Annual
Congress, Ottawa
ON, June 2-5, 2003)
President’s Prize / Prix du président
To: Charles Lin for
his record
of important
contributions to several areas of atmospheric and oceanic science,
including
atmospheric dynamics, mesoscale meteorology, ocean modeling, and
specifically
for his development and use of coupled atmospheric-hydrologic models as
highlighted by his paper, co-authored with Wen, Béland and
Chaumont, A
Coupled Atmosphere-Hydrological Modeling Study of the 1996 Ha! Ha!
River
Basin Flash Flood in Québec, Canada, published in 2002 in Geophysical
Research Letters, 29 (2).
J.P. Tully Medal in Oceanography
Médaille J.P. Tully en océanographie
To: Stephen Pond for
his widely
recognized,
meticulous observational studies in air-sea interactions and coastal
oceanography,
and for his prominent role in supervising many graduate students in
physical
oceanography.
Andrew Thomson Prize in Applied Meteorology
Prix Andrew Thomson en météorologie
appliquée
À Clément
Chouinard et Jacques
Hallé
pour leur contribution marquante à la recherche et à
l'implantation
au Centre météorologique canadien de l'assimilation des
mesures
d'irradiance tirées des télémesures satellitaires
de température et d'humidité. Chouinard et Hallé
ont aussi été de contributeurs clés aux
activités
de R&D qui ont conduit à des changements importants des
méthodes
d'assimilation des données et qui ont rendu possible
l'utilisation
des ces nouveaux ensembles de données. Par suite de leur apport
à l'assimilation des données, la performance
améliorée
des previsions numériques opérationelles
à
court terme place le CMC parmi les meilleurs centres de
prévision
numérique au monde.
To: Clément
Chouinard
and Jacques
Hallé for their outstanding contribution to the
research,
development
and operational implementation at the Canadian Meteorological Centre of
the direct assimilation of radiance measurements from satellite
temperature
and moisture sounding instruments. Chouinard and Hallé
were also key contributors to R&D activities that led to
significant
changes in the methodology of data assimilation and that made possible
the use of these new datasets. As a result of their contribution to
data
assimilation, the improved performance of the short term NWP forecasts
issued operationally puts CMC among the best NWP Centres in the world.
Prize in Applied Oceanography
Prix en océanographie appliquée
À François Saucier et Denis
Lefaivre
pour le développement d'avant garde et la validation attentive
de
modèles du Golfe et de l'Estuaire du Saint-Laurent ainsi que
leur
application à la prévision opérationnelle des
marées,
vagues libres, courants et trajectoires de déversements
d'hydrocarbures.
To: François Saucier and Denis
Lefaivre for their pioneering development and careful
validation of
models of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the St. Lawrence Estuary and
their
application to the operational forecasting of tides, surges, currents
and
oil spill trajectories.
Rube Hornstein Medal In Operational Meteorology
Médaille Rube Hornstein en
météorologie opérationnelle
(Until 1996: Rube Hornstein Prize in
Operational Meteorology
/
jusqu'à 1996, Prix de
météorologie
opérationnelle Rube Hornstein)
To: William Purcell
for his
instrumental work
in promoting and developing software, such as the Weather Analysis
Display
System and the Phoenix project, which allow meteorologists to place
more
emphasis on real time data to improve weather forecasts of all kinds.
Tertia M. C. Hughes Memorial
Graduate Student
Prize
Prix commémoratif Tertia M.C. Hughes
To: Yongsheng
Chen for his
groundbreaking
Ph. D. thesis work at McGill University: On the dynamics of the
inner
spiral rainbands in a simulated hurricane. This work
represents
important advancements in the area of hurricane dynamics research.

Much
Weather: Facts, Phenomena and Weather Lore from Atlantic Canada, a
fun and informative book which brings the subject of East Coast weather
to the general public.
To: Bob Jones for his
tireless
volunteer
work over the years in a variety of CMOS endeavours and in particular
his
role in recent years as "webmaster" for the CMOS and the Canadian
Foundation
for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences web sites.
