AMS is a professional organization that advances the atmospheric and related oceanic and hydrologic sciences in service to society. https://www.ametsoc.org/
Fog is typically measured via satellite, but a new study is the first to research the spatial variability of fog along the Oregon coastline using webcams and airport weather metrics. Learn how publicly available cameras are helping scientists demystify coastal fog: https://bit.ly/44IWp0a
Surfing Webcams Help Demystify Oregon’s Coastal FogWebcams commonly used by surfers are helping scientists measure Oregon's coastal fog, shows a study from UC Davis and the USDA Forest Service.bit.lyThe Women & Early Career Reception at the AMS Madison Summit offers a place for attendees across conferences (from weather warnings to forecasting) to network and engage.

Signs that things are going okay career-wise: ❌ Get a million-dollar grant ❌ Win teaching awards ✅ have a former and current AMS President send me emails with me as a giant head I enjoyed participating in the @ametsoc.org Washington Forum and Community Meeting this morning!
Synoptic is excited to join the weather community this week at the 2026 AMS Washington Forum & Summer Community Meeting, with the topic: Capturing our Enterprise. If you're attending, let's connect! Learn more: zurl.co/oN2Dh @ametsoc.org #AMSSummerMeeting #AMS2026
There has been an explosion in #urbanheat monitoring using low-cost meteorological sensors. In our paper (doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...) in Bulletin of @ametsoc.org, we empirically show why we need to be careful about large biases in such sensors; & provide guidelines for their effective deployment.
“Weather doesn’t discriminate. Impact does.” Meteorologist and atmospheric scientist Jamese Sims discusses her new book, Protect the House, and why resilience depends on more than accurate forecasts. Read the full interview on AMS Headlines: https://bit.ly/4w8zBDe
Protecting the House: Jamese Sims on Weather, Preparedness, and Community ResilienceIn her new book, Protect the House: Weather Doesn’t Discriminate, But Impact Does, Sims explores why the same weather event can have dramatically different consequences from one community to another.headlines.ametsoc.orgA new study offers the first detailed look at how Earth’s weather responds immediately after a solar flare blasts electromagnetic radiation and high-energy particles toward our planet.
