William R. Moninger - Awards
- December 2008 - ESRL/Global Systems Division Web Award
- Most Improved Site - Susan Sahm and Bill Moninger for the
FIM Model Verification Sites
"The RAOB comparison site has been around awhile, but has been
recently updated and extended to include the FIM Global Model as well
as the addition of the anomaly correlation site. The FIM Model
verification sites are the first global model verification
capabilities at ESRL. They use extremely flexible and powerful web
applications to provide verification statistics for the globe and for
several sub-regions for two global models: the FIM, developed at ESRL,
and the GFS, running operationally at NCEP. The sites have been
crucial in identifying model weaknesses and evaluating the fixes to
those weaknesses."
- December 2005 - NOAA Research Employee of the Year
- For work with AMDAR data.
- December 2005 - Earth System Research Laboratory / Global Systems
Division Web Award
- Most Improved Website: AMDAR Data
Display "This application has extended to global data over
the past year, with
widespread international usage. Bill has coordinated with users,
the international aircraft data community, and carriers themselves
to improve its use, especially over Africa, Asia, Europe, and
South America. This site is considered to be far and away the best
web site on global aircraft data anywhere."
- October 2005 - NASA Aviation Safety and Security Program Award
- For "outstanding contributions to aviation weather safety research and
development."
- December 2003 - Forecast Systems Laboratory Web Award
- For the Best Web Product: the FSL (now ESRL/GSD)
Publications Web
Site, which allows ESRL/GSD's publication information to be
accessed and maintained over the web.
- December 2003 - Forecast Systems Laboratory Web Award
- For the Most Improved Web Product. "By incorporating the MySQL
database, Bill Moninger of the Forecast Research Division
significantly improved the speed of access to verification
statistics on the Real Time
Verification System (RTVS) site. The
improved performance is a boon to FSL scientists, our
collaborators at the Aviation Weather Center and the National
Center for Atmospheric Research, and the aviation user community."
