David Schwab will receive the Department of Commerce
This award is the second highest honorary award granted by the Secretary of Commerce. A Silver Medal is defined as exceptional performance characterized by noteworthy or superlative contributions which have a direct and lasting impact within the Department.
Dr. Schwab is cited for development, advancement and application of circulation and physical process modeling leading to the Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System. This is the first regional demonstration of the NOAA Coastal Forecasting System to predict surface temperature, currents, and wave heights to provide operational nowcasts for the Great Lakes.
Dr. Schwab's improvements in the development of predictive models can be applied for both scientific advancement and interpretation of the physics of the Great Lakes and also for use as products for the safety and utility of the boating and commercial shipping public.
