THIS ACKNOWLEDGES
Dan Vietor
, Unisys Corporation

Your efforts and contributions reflect the goals and ideals of the Unidata program. Your development of WXP enabled universities to analyze and visualize weather observations and forecasts and helped pioneer the production of graphical meteorological products for access via the World Wide Web. We thank you for these efforts, as well as your service on the original Unidata Implementation Working Group, your contributions to summer workshops, and your participation in WXP training workshops.

The Russell DeSouza award honors "individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the Unidata Program to better serve the geosciences."

The volume of Dan Vietor’s work in the Unidata community adds up to an enormous contribution.

Community members cite his ongoing involvement in providing user support through contributions in Unidata’s topical e-mail lists. The lists, which cover a wide range of topics including data problems, data stream changes and formats, also address issues such as directions in PC computing. More recently, Dan provided programs to uncompress NOAAport satellite and radar data.

In developing and supporting WXP software he provided users with an analysis and visualization tool well suited for creating weather web sites that are used by school systems help students learn about weather.

He worked to integrate netCDF formats into WXP and provided support to all users who had questions about any aspect of the software or the data.

Dan’s dedicated service in assisting Unidata’s user community is exemplary.
