We seek new members for the AMS Committee on Mountain Meteorology to help plan meetings, organize webinars and other activities in support of the community. The intent of the Committee on Mountain Meteorology is to serve as a nexus for those matters relevant to the meteorological community that are fundamentally affected by complex terrain. This definition implies that although the meteorology of mountainous areas shall be a central focus of the committee, the committee must expect to collaborate frequently on mountain-related matters of concern to other committees of the Society.
Our work requires tremendous coordination, commitment, and collaboration between tens of thousands of people, all of whom are dedicated to success. AMS has created a structure of volunteer support for this coordination and collaboration that includes six commissions overseeing 140+ boards and committees.
The information provided in this application will be provided to the various commissioners as they begin making appointments for the committees and boards of their commission. Please note that most appointments are made in the fall for terms that begin in January, so you may not hear anything for some time after submitting this form. Also note that great effort is put into maintaining balance on committees and boards in terms of sector, discipline, etc., so you may not be used on a specific committee or board immediately.
