He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union, and in 1979 he won that society's James B. Macelwane Award. Kelley has been a member of the National Academy of Science's Committee on Solar and Space Plasmas; the Management Working Group on Solar Space Plasmas of the Office of Space Science, National Aeronautics and Space Administration; and the National Science Foundation Advisory Committee on the Atmospheric Research Program. In 1981 he won the Tau Beta Pi-Cornell Society of Engineers award as the outstanding teacher in the Cornell College of Engineering. Currently, Kelley is chair of the NSF Global Change Program's Upper Atmosphere Component, CEDAR, and is the special advisor for atmospheric science at the Arecibo Observatory.
