... Headquarters, Scott Air Force Base, during 1974-1975 and received the Award for Meritorious Civilian Service for his contributions to the AWS radar program. He served on the Executive Committee of the International Commission on Clouds and Precipitation from 1988 to 1996, as director of the South Dakota Space Grant Consortium from 1991 to 1996, and as a member of the National Research Council's National Weather Service (NWS)

... In the area of radar remote sensing, he originated and furthered the development of the concepts of differential reflectivity ZDR and specific differential phase shift KDP. These and other related polarimetric measurements have revolutionized the field of radar meteorology by improving radar's ability to quantify rainfall rates, detect hail, and discriminate between water and ice phase hydrometeors, and they have advanced the understanding of cloud physics.
