AMS - The Helmut E. Landsberg Award

Organization: American Meteorological Society

The Helmut E. Landsberg Award recognizes an individual or team for exemplary contributions to the fields of urban meteorology, climatology, or hydrology, including, but not restricted to, achievements through measurements or modeling that provide an improved understanding of atmospheric processes in urban environments, enhanced urban meteorological or air quality forecasting capabilities, advances in identifying and quantifying beneficial and adverse impacts in urban areas, or in recognition of service or applications in the field. Contributions may either be for a singular achievement or in recognition of sustained contributions over a period of many years. The award is given in the form of an official AMS certificate and is offered on an annual basis. The AMS has established a selection committee consisting of members of the AMS Board on the Urban Environment (BUE) and ex officio members.
