The following members of the EOS community were among the 36 distinguished scientists to be selected AGU Fellows in 1998:
Moustafa T. Chahine, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Team Leader for the AIRS/AMSU/HSB instruments, "for creative research and scientific leadership in the remote sensing of atmospheres from space and in the study of the hydrologic cycle's role in global change."
William B. Rossow, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, a co-investigator on the EOSP instrument and an EOS Interdisciplinary Investigation, "for fundamental contributions to the remote sensing of clouds from satellites and for his leadership in the development of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project."
Thomas J. Schmugge, U. S. Department of Agriculture, a team member of the ASTER Instrument Team, "for fundamental contributions in the theory and application of microwave and thermal infrared radiative transfer in the context of remote sensing of soil moisture and land surface temperature, and for outstanding leadership in large-scale hydrologic experimentation."
The Earth Observer staff and the EOS community would like to congratulate these people on their outstanding accomplishments.
William L. Chameides, a Regents' Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology, was recently elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Chameides is a Principal Investigator on an EOS Interdisciplinary Investigation. The Earth Observer staff and the EOS community would like to congratulate Dr. Chameides on this outstanding accomplishment.
