The Awards are given at each Science Team meeting (twice per year) to 2 ACME team members in recognition of those who have gone “above and beyond” to contribute to the project. This includes demonstrated commitment, important scientific or technical ideas or advances, or noteworthy inter/intra-disciplinary teamwork. The award nominations are solicited from Group Leads for ACME team members; Group-Leads and Council members are excluded. The selection from the nominations is made by the Executive Committee.
This year, the ACME Executive Committee awarded the following ACME members:
Po-Lun Ma – For his dedication to performing simulations to evaluate the ACME v1 atmosphere and by serving as the critical link between the developers, integrators and task leaders responsible for tuning and validating the atmosphere and coupled system models.
Jinyun Tang – For extraordinary contribution to ACME’s land model reactive transport and biogeochemistry and to ACME’s v1 water budget diagnosis
Balwinder Singh – For his critical role and sustained effort as an integrator and a Spoke for the Atmosphere Group through disruptive changes leading to ACME v1 model
