Award criteria

The NOAA Corps Meritorious Service Medal recognizes acts or service that warrant greater recognition that can be given by the NOAA Corps Commendation Medal, but

is less than that required for the award of a Department of Commerce Silver Medal, such as:^[3]

A voluntary act of heroism that stands out as something distinctly above normal expectations.
Meritorious service, worthy of special recognition, covering an extended period of time. Eligible service should be far superior to that usually expected of an individual of their rank, it should demonstrate significant leadership accomplishments, or is a significant and substantial contribution to the Government.
Outstanding career service, worthy of special recognition, based on the sustained performance of an officer over multiple assignments. Service should have tangible and sustained achievements in leadership, management and government service.

Ribbon devices

Each additional award of the medal is denoted by a {{frac|5|16}} inch gold star for the full size medal suspension ribbon and service ribbon and a {{frac|1|8}} inch gold star for the miniature medal suspension ribbon.
