The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the atmospheric and related sciences. Founded in 1919, it provides a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share knowledge and collaborate on weather, climate, and environmental issues. The AMS publishes scientific journals, hosts conferences, and offers educational resources to promote understanding of meteorology. The society also plays a key role in setting standards for meteorological practices and education. It offers certification programs for meteorologists and supports outreach initiatives to engage the public in weather and climate science. Through these efforts, the AMS aims to enhance the understanding and application of atmospheric science.
