Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal
The Vilhelm Bjerknes Medal is an award presented by the European Geosciences Union (and its predecessor, the European Geophysical Society) that recognizes "distinguished research in atmospheric sciences".[1] It was first awarded in 1997, to Brian Hoskins,[2] and later recipients include the Nobel-Prize-winning oceanographer and climate scientist Klaus Hasselmann. The award is named for Norwegian pioneer of weather forecasting Vilhelm Bjerknes, whose likeness features on the medal itself, designed by sculptor József Kótai.[1]
