NWRA notes the death of Affiliate Scientist Dr. Wayne Evans on April 27, 2019.  Wayne’s primary research interests included the study of the climate radiative forcing responsible for climate change and the depletion of the Arctic stratospheric ozone layer.  Most recently, Wayne was analyzing methane data and its role in climate change.  Many of us in the Redmond office enjoyed hearing his latest findings when he would pop in to the office for a visit.

Accolade: L.J. Nickisch, Sergey Fridman, Mark Hausman, and Greg Bullock are a part of the team that won this year’s AFRL Joint Capability Technology Demonstration – the “JCTD of the Year Award”

April 2019

Their award-winning JCTD is built around NWRA-Monterey software products for modeling the ionosphere and simulating the performance of high-frequency radar systems.   

Jonah Colman, the AFRL Program Lead for their JCTD commented, “The award is a pretty big deal for any program, especially so for a space environment related project. Really it’s unprecedented.”  In connection with this award, the Office of the Secretary of Defense has provided $10M for continued scientific work over the next two years.  

Congratulations L.J., Sergey, Mark and Greg!
