Reinhard Süring Medal

The Reinhard-Süring Plaque (German: Reinhard-Süring-Plakette) is a scientific award presented by the German Meteorological Society (Deutsche Meteorologische Gesellschaft, DMG) to individuals for outstanding scientific or organisational services to the aims of the society and its predecessor organisations.[1][2]

History

The plaque is named after German meteorologist Reinhard Süring. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research notes that awarding a plaque in Süring's name is a tradition introduced in the 1960s.[3] The current DMG regulations describe the Reinhard-Süring Plaque as having been endowed on 1 January 1978 in Potsdam by the Meteorological Society of the German Democratic Republic.[2]

Awarding

According to DMG regulations, the award consists of a medal (plaque) and a certificate and is typically presented in connection with a scientific meeting; it may be awarded to more than one person in the same year.[2] Recipients are selected unanimously by a three-person committee, based on proposals from the DMG executive (Präsidium) or one of its sections.[2][4]
