Awards

Ocean Observing Team Award (RAPID-MOCHA-WBTS 26°N Team) 2020

For significantly improving our understanding of Atlantic circulation with a breakthrough in observing system design, providing continuous, cost-effective measurements.

NOAA Employee/Team Member of the Week Award: COVID-19 Response April 30th, 2020

For collecting basinwide, underway samples and measurements, as well as deploying floats and drifters, across the Atlantic after being ordered to return immediately to the United States. Their creativity and perseverance resulted in a cross-basin, multi-disciplinary set of samples, supporting critical NOAA research and the deployment of long-term observing platforms that will provide data for years to come.
