CMOS PRIZES AND AWARDS

a) The President's Prize
The President's Prize may be awarded each year to a member or members of the Society for a recent paper or book of special merit in the fields of meteorology or oceanography. The paper must have been accepted for publication in ATMOSPHERE-OCEAN, the CMOS Bulletin SCMO or another refereed journal.

b) The J.P. Tully Medal in Oceanography
The J.P. Tully Medal in Oceanography may be awarded each year to a person whose scientific contributions have had a significant impact on Canadian oceanography.

c) The Dr. Andrew Thomson Prize in Applied Meteorology
The Dr. Andrew Thomson Prize in Applied Meteorology may be awarded each year to a member or members of the Society for an outstanding contribution to the application of meteorology in Canada.

d) The François J. Saucier Prize in Applied Oceanography
The François J. Saucier Prize in Applied Oceanography may be awarded each year to a member or members of the Society for an outstanding contribution to the application of oceanography in Canada.

e) Rube Hornstein Medal in Operational Meteorology
The Rube Hornstein Medal in Operational Meteorology may be awarded each year to an individual for providing outstanding operational meteorological service in its broadest sense, but excluding the publication of research papers as a factor, unless that research has already been incorporated into the day-to-day performance of operational duties. The work for which the medal is granted may be cumulative over a period of years or may be a single notable achievement.

f) The Tertia MC Hughes Memorial Graduate Student Prizes
One or more prizes may be awarded each year for contributions of special merit by graduate students registered at a Canadian university or by Canadian graduate students registered at a foreign university.

g) Roger Daley Postdoctoral Publication Award
The Roger Daley Postdoctoral Publication Award, valued at $2000, is to be made annually to a candidate who, at the time of nomination, is working in Canada in a non-permanent position as a postdoctoral fellow or research associate, and is within 5 years of having received a doctoral degree. The award is to be based on the excellence of a publication in the fields of meteorology or oceanography, that has appeared, or is in press, at the time of nomination. The first award is to be made in 2005, and the awards will continue as long as the fund established by Mrs. Daley, together with other contributions solicited through CMOS, will permit.

h) The Neil J. Campbell Medal for Exceptional Volunteer Service
The Neil J. Campbell Medal for Exceptional Volunteer Service may be awarded each year to a member who has provided exceptional service to CMOS as a volunteer. The award may be made for an exceptional contribution in a single year or for contributions over an extended period. The contribution should have resulted in an important advancement for CMOS and/or its aims, nationally or locally.

i) Citations
One or more Citations may be awarded each year to an individual, group or organization which has, in the previous year, made some outstanding contribution towards promoting public awareness of meteorology or oceanography in Canada.

j) Other Awards
The Society may create other awards to recognize scientific achievement and promote interest in meteorology or oceanography.
