He received the Sverdrup Gold Medal Award from the American Meteorological Society in 2008^[1] for his contributions to the measurement and understanding of the ocean's role in climate, and for leading the development and implementation of the Argo array. He joined Scripps Institution of Oceanography in 1981.^[2]
