John Campanius Holm awards
The John Campanius Holm award was created to honor Cooperative Observers for outstanding accomplishments in the field of meteorological observations. It is named for a Lutheran minister, the first person known to have taken systematic weather observations in the American Colonies. Reverend Holm made weather observations, without the aid of instruments, in 1644 and 1645 near the present site of Wilmington, Delaware. His son later had these observation published. From hundreds of nominations each year, no more than twenty-five of these awards are presented annually to the volunteer observers. The certificate is signed by the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and presented by local National Weather Service representatives..
