1933	Бьёрн Хелланн-Хансен	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his studies in physical oceanography and especially for his contributions to knowledge of the dynamic circulation of the ocean
1934	Haakon H. Gran	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his contributions to knowledge of the factors controlling organic production in the sea.
1935	T. Wayland Vaughan	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his investigations of corals, foraminifer, and submarine deposits, and for his leadership in developing oceanographic activities on the Pacific coast of America.
1936	Мартин Кнудсен	—
1937	Edgar Johnson Allen	—
1938	Харальд Свердруп	—
1939	Frank Rattray Lillie	—
1942	Columbus O'Donnell Iselin	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his studies of the Gulf stream system, for his leadership in the development of a general program of the physical oceanography of the North Atlantic, and for his distinctive direction of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution both in times of peace and war.
1946	Joseph Proudman	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his distinguished studies of the tides of the world.
1947	Феликс Венинг-Мейнес	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his contributions to oceanography, particularly by his invention of an apparatus for the determination of gravity at sea, by making many measurements of gravity over each of the great oceans, and by the utilization of these observations in interpreting the physical properties and behavior of the Earth's crust.
1948	Thomas Gordon Thompson	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his leadership in investigations of the complex chemistry of the ocean, with special attention to the waters of the north-east Pacific, Puget Sound, and San Juan Archipelago, and the Bering and Chukchi Seas.
1951	Harry A. Marmer	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his distinguished contributions in tidal surveys. His projects have made available to oceanographers accurate, long-period records for large areas where previously very little observational data were available. The program and work which he has originated ultimately will produce reliable conclusions on present-day tectonic processes and the rate of change in the quantity of water in the ocean.
1952	H. W. Harvey	—
1954	Морис Юинг	—
1955	Alfred C. Redfield	—
1959	Martin W. Johnson	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his outstanding leadership in biological and general oceanography. Among Dr. Johnson's contributions are explanations for two newly discovered acoustic phenomena in the sea. These explanations brought biologist and physicists together in a common interest, and introduced underwater acoustics as a prime tool for marine ecology
1960	Anton Frederik Bruun	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his leadership in the study of the biology of the deep ocean.
1962	George Deacon	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his investigations of the hydrography of the southern ocean.
1963	Роджер Ревелл	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his contributions to the understanding of oceanic processes and the geology of the sea floor, and through his research, to the advancement of scientific oceanography throughout the world.
1965	Edward Bullard	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his significant investigations of the earth from its surface to its core.

1979	Генри Стоммел	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his work at sea, in the laboratory, and by analyses through which he made major advances in understanding of ocean circulation and distribution of water masses.
1986	Уоллес Броекер	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his work on chemical exchange among the oceans, atmosphere, and solid Earth, making great contributions to understanding the role of the oceans in the Earth's carbon cycle and its climate.
1989	Чезаре Эмилиани	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For masterful achievements using isotopic palaeotemperatures to establish the climatic history of the Pleistocene and for suggesting their relation to the Milankovitch orbital cycles.
1992	Joseph L. Reid	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his exploration and observation of the circulation of the world ocean, assembly of its many interacting parts with a lifetime of care, dedication, and insight.
1995	Victor V. Vacquier	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his discovery of the flux-gate magnetometer, and for the marine magnetic anomaly surveys that led to the acceptance of the theory of sea-floor spreading.
1998	Walter C. Pitman III	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his fundamental contribution to the plate tectonic revolution through insightful analysis of marine magnetic anomalies and for his studies of the causes and effects of sea-level changes.
2001	Charles Shipley Cox	Оригинальный текст (англ.) For his pioneering studies, both theoretical and instrumental, of oceanic waves, microstructure and mixing, and of electromagnetic fields in the ocean and in the seafloor.
