On December 6, 2023, the 610AT Peer Awards Ceremony was held at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This ceremony celebrates achievements within the Earth Sciences Division - Atmospheres (Codes 612, 613, and 614).

Congratulations to the following individuals:

Daeho Jin (613/UMBC), Best Earth Science Research Results Portal (ESRRP) Entry: For conveying succinctly in the ESRRP format the importance and significance of his paper "QBO deepens MJO convection".

Sergey Korkin (613/UMBC), Best Senior Author Publication: For an elegant and rigorous exposition in the paper "Radiative interaction of atmosphere and surface: Write-up with elements of code" that showed how the matrix-operator method can simulate polarized atmosphere-surface radiative interactions.

Korkin, S., and A. Lyapustin, 2023, Radiative interaction of atmosphere and surface: Write-up with elements of code, Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, 309, 108663 [10.1016/j.jqsrt.2023.108663].

Alfonso Delgado-Bonal (613/UMBC), Best Senior Author Publication: For helping to understand the daytime variability of cloud properties in the paper.

Delgado-Bonal, A., A. Marshak, L. Oreopoulus, and Y. Yang, 2022, Cloud height daytime variability from DSCOVR/EPIC and GOES-R observations, Frontiers in Remote Sens., 3, [10.3389/frsen.2022.780243].

Daniel Anderson (614/UMBC), Outstanding Performance in Science: For a novel effort to constrain tropospheric hydroxyl radical (OH), the atmosphere's primary oxidant, using NASA EOS's long data records of the drivers of OH.

Yuli Liu (612/UMBC), Outstanding Performance in Science: For outstanding support for simulation framework and algorithm development for the AOS radiometers, CoSSIR and the PoLSIR mission.

Anne Thompson (614/UMBC) as part of the Ozonesonde Team, Distinguished Contribution Group Award: For successful measurement system transition and integration for the NASA/WFF and Natal, Brazil, ozonesonde stations, ensuring the continued high quality of two of the longest-running sites in the world.

Amita Mehta (612/UMBC), Carl Malings (612/MSU), David Barbato (612/UMBC) and Selwyn Hudson-Odoi (612/UMBC) as part of the ARSET Team, Distinguished Contribution Group Award: For increasing the global use and impact of NASA Earth Science through the Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) Program.
