Manoa oceanographer Klaus Wyrtki will
receive the Alexander Agassiz Medal and accompanying $15,000 prize
from the National Academy of Sciences. The medal, which will be presented
in Washington, D.C., April 19, is awarded every three years for original
contributions in oceanography. Wyrtki was chosen "for fundamental
contributions to the understanding of the oceanic general circulation
of abyssal and thermocline waters and for providing the intellectual
underpinning for our understanding of ENSO (El Nino)." In 2003,
Wyrtki received the first Prince Albert I Medal from the International
Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans.
