honor the first Administrator of what was to become the NOAA
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service.
The award recognizes young professionals who have developed an
innovative application of Earth observation satellite data (alone
or in combination with non-satellite data) that is, or could be,
used for operational purposes to assess and/or predict
atmospheric, oceanic, or terrestrial conditions. The satellite
data used may be from any Earth observation satellite, e.g., U.S.
government, commercial, or foreign satellites.</p>
