International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences

International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences is a Non-governmental organization (NGO) that aims to promote the advancement of Meteorology and Atmospheric science through international cooperation. The organization was established in 1920 as part of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) and is affiliated with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU). The association works closely with other organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to achieve its goals. The organization also collaborates with the University of Reading, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to promote research and education in the field.

● History

The history of the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences dates back to the early 20th century when the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) was established. The association was formed in 1920 as a part of the IUGG and was initially known as the International Meteorological Organization (IMO). The IMO was later renamed to the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences in 1951. The organization has a long history of collaboration with other organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the National Weather Service (NWS), and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The association has also worked closely with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the University of Oxford, and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to promote research and education in the field. The organization has been involved in several international projects such as the Global Atmospheric Research Programme (GARP) and the Tropical Ocean and Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program.

● Organization

The International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences is organized into several commissions and programs that focus on specific areas of research and application. The organization is headed by a president and a secretary-general who are elected by the members. The association has a close relationship with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU) and works closely with other organizations such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The organization also collaborates with the University of Cambridge, the Imperial College London, and the University of Melbourne to promote research and education in the field. The association has a strong partnership with the Royal Meteorological Society, the American Meteorological Society (AMS), and the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS).

● Membership

The International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences has members from all over the world, including National meteorological organizations, Research institutions, and Individual scientists. The members of the association are involved in various activities such as research, education, and application of meteorology and atmospheric science. The association has a close relationship with the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the International Council for Science (ICSU) and works closely with other organizations such as the National Weather Service (NWS), the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The organization also collaborates with the University of Tokyo, the University of Toronto, and the University of Sydney to promote research and education in the field. The association has a strong partnership with the Royal Society, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), and the Australian Academy of Science (AAS).

● Activities

The International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences is involved in various activities such as research, education, and application of meteorology and atmospheric science. The association organizes international conferences and workshops, such as the International Conference on Climate Change and the World Weather Open Science Conference, to promote the exchange of ideas and collaboration among scientists. The organization also publishes several journals, including the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences and the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, to disseminate research findings. The association works closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to promote research and education in the field. The organization also collaborates with the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Chicago, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison to promote research and education in the field.
