The American Meteorological Society promotes the development and dissemination of information and education on the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences and the advancement of their professional applications. Founded in 1919, AMS has a membership of more than 14,000 professionals, ...
National or regional technical, scientific, and administrative organization with activities concerned with the different theoretical and practical branches of meteorology.
Industry:Weather
Environmental and weather satellites (such as GOES, Meteosat, GMS, NOAA, DMSP) that carry instruments to remotely sense portions of the electromagnetic spectrum radiated from the earth and the surrounding atmosphere for use in the preparation of various meteorological observations and forecasts.
Industry:Weather
A rocket designed primarily for routine upper-air observation (as opposed to research) in the lower 80 km of the atmosphere, but especially that region above 30 km inaccessible to balloons. See rocketsonde.
Industry:Weather
1. A scientific establishment devoted to making particularly precise and detailed meteorological, geophysical, and related astronomical phenomena. 2. (Obsolete. ) A location where only synoptic and radar meteorological observations were made.
Industry:Weather
Member of a meteorological service or a volunteer approved by a meteorological service who makes and transmits meteorological observations.
Industry:Weather
Place where hydrometeorological observations are made with approval of the WMO member or members concerned.
Industry:Weather
Office designated to provide hydrometeorological services. See main meteorological office, dependent meteorological office, supplementary meteorological office.
Industry:Weather
That part of atmospheric optics concerned with the study of patterns observable with the naked eye. This latter restriction is often relaxed slightly to allow the use of simple aids such as binoculars or a polarizing filter. Topics included in meteorological optics are sky color, mirages, rainbows, halos, glories, coronas, and shines.
Industry:Weather
Evaluation or measurement of one or more meteorological elements.
Industry:Weather
Originally, the small-scale, high-frequency solutions to the fundamental equations of hydrodynamics, which may obscure the solution required for numerical forecasting. However, the meaning must be extended to include unwanted frequencies in general, and the term “noise” may be applied legitimately by the investigator of atmospheric tides to the moving cyclonic-scale weather patterns. See noise filtering, Kalman–Bucy filter.
