In 2023, two awardees are selected for the EMS Journalistic Award. They show two different views on climate change, one the broader international picture, and the other zooming in on very local and personal perspectives.

• Zornitsa Spasova provides an in-depth and thorough review and analysis on global warming and societal impacts, with a particular focus on labour conditions world-wide and women’s health in India.
• Ole Mathismoen makes a strong attempt to “humanise” the climate change problem in a manner that many people can (hopefully) relate to. He presents very concrete stories for summer and winter in Oslo based on his own memories in Oslo 55 years ago and his 5 years old son present and the future 75 years.

The awardees will present their work in Session ES2.1 Communication and media | Wed, 06 Sep, 09:45–10:10 |Lecture room B1.02.

The EMS Young Scientist Award 2023 will be presented to Dr. Mateusz Taszarek, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland, for his important contribution to the understanding of severe convective storm hazards, their accompanying atmospheric environments and relationships to a warming climate across Europe and the United States.
Mateusz Taszarek will give the Award Lecture on his recent work entitled Do severe storms across Australia, Europe and the United States share similarities? A comparison of atmospheric profiles and environmental predictors on Thu, 7 Sep, 14:00–14:15 in session UP1.3 Understanding and modelling of atmospheric hazards and severe weather phenomena | Lecture room B1.05

The EMS Technology Achievement Award 2023 for the digital weather service Yr, offering weather data on our web platform as well as on iOS and Android apps. Yr is awarded for the ways it makes weather information available to a wide audience worldwide: it stands out for the nowcast function using citizen science data in the Nordic region and its sky view option which displays the future weather in a very transparent way. To read more about the project see https://www.emetsoc.org/ems-taa-2023-for-yr/
Anders Sivle, Norwegian Meteorological Institute, will give present Yr in the awards lecture "Yr service development: A new, seamless, 3-week forecast" on Mon, 4 Sep, 11:00 in session OSA1.5 Probabilistic and ensemble forecasting from short to seasonal time scales | Lecture room B1.04.

Carola Detring, Germany, is the 2023 EMS Outstanding Contribution Awardee. She is honoured for her important initiatives to develop a European network of early career scientists in the framework of the EMS and connecting to relevant partner networks.
The EMS is delighted to present this award this time to a young scientist, having already made important contributions to the community at an early stage of her career.

Sarah Jones will receive the EMS Silver Medal 2023. This award recognizes her significant contributions to the understanding and modelling of tropical systems and extra-tropical transitions, her outstanding leadership merits for the benefit of the European and international community and beyond, and her strong involvement with the Young Earth System Science community. The Silver Medal ceremony, which includes a Silver Medal Lecture by the Laureate, takes place on Monday evening at the Awards Session: Mon, 4 Sep, 17:35–18:20 | Lecture room B1.02
Silver Medal Lecture: “Early Career Scientists and how they shape our world”

The Harry Otten Foundation announces the Harry Otten Prize with a biennial cycle since 2011. Invited are ideas that are innovative, practical, realizable, and bring Meteorology forward in society. Submissions of ideas for the 2023 prize round started on 15 September 2022 and closed on 10 March 2023.
Three finalists have been invited to present their idea during this EMS2023 special session: PSE3 Finalists' Session on Mon, 4 Sep, 09:00–10:30. Afterwards the jury will decide and the prize winner will be announced in the Awards Session on Monday evening, at 18:50.

The 2023 Award is awarded to two outstanding candidates:

• Professor Christine Susan Betham Grimmond, Dept. Meteorology, University of Reading. Sue Grimmond has been a very active scientist in promoting urban boundary layer studies at both national and global level. She has contributed the inclusion and improved description of urban surfaces in different global models.
• Professor Emeritus, Larry Mahrt, College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State, University, Corvallis, Oregon. Larry Mahrt has had a profound influence on the boundary-layer meteorology community with his innovative and insightful research over the years which involved many important collaborations on a large number of BL-related topics.
