Dorothy Quincy, NOAA Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory
Dorothy Quincy is a highly valued programmer and data processor with the Dobson Ozone Group. Her primary role has been to program and ensure the day-to-day functioning of ozone processing code. Dorothy has not only performed to the highest expectations of her team, but has also coauthored papers on ozone observations, has broadened her skills by training to be an official Dobson observer and traveled to the South Pole with these newly acquired observing skills. She participates in NOAA's continuing education programs, and actively seeks to improve her work place by organizing meetings and social activities.
Jason Wolfe, CIRES' National Snow and Ice Data Center
[ About NSIDC ]
Jason Wolfe is a Science Writer for NSIDC, but all who have worked with him acknowledge that the quality and scope of his work extend far beyond what is expected. His group/project web sites and web documentation are valued by external/global and internal users of the AMSR-E and GLAS projects. He exceeds expectations by working with the data, learning the visualization software, and making images and undertaking new projects on his own initiative. He is furthering his skills by taking the ESRI's Virtual campus ArcGIS9 course, has taken a science writers course at CU, and has submitted his own abstracts to AGU and AMS conferences on topics such as ice sheet elevations, surface temperature measurements, icebergs, and ice-shelf changes.
Texas Air Quality Team (Wayne Angevine, Charles Brock, Greg Frost, John Holloway, Gerhard Hübler, Andy Neuman, and Donna Sueper)
The value of CIRES to the community and to NOAA is clearly demonstrated by this team of CIRES researchers. The team discovered a new and major factor that causes pollution in the Houston, Texas area (leaks of reactive gasses from petrochemical refineries). As a direct result of this finding, Texas air quality managers altered their policy approach to more effectively target the root causes of the region's poor air quality. Business and community leaders, as well as the public, benefited from this timely discovery, which averted what would have been an expensive (and less effective) air quality plan. Texas officials have asked for an "encore," and a field study in 2006 is envisioned that will cover more areas of the state.
