In 1993, Professor Karoly received the Meisinger Award from the American
Meteorological Society, with citation "for contributions to the
understanding of the role of Rossby wave propagation in atmospheric
teleconnections and to greenhouse climate change research". In

the World Meteorological Organization for a joint research paper with
ten international collaborators. In 1999, he was elected a Fellow
