Third Annual AMS Student Conference The AMS will hold its third annual Student Conference and Career Fair, 10-11 January 2004. The conference, co-chaired by Ken Carey, Mitretek Systems, Inc., and Rosemary Auld of the NOAA/NWS Eastern Region Headquarters, will take place over the weekend just prior to the opening of the 84th AMS Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington and will be open to all undergraduate upperclassmen and first-year graduate students. This year’s conference is the first to be open to junior undergraduates, providing them with the opportunity to better focus the remainder of their undergraduate studies to the options that unfold for them at the conference. The theme of this year’s conference is “Career Choices – The Sky’s The Limit”. The conference will continue its annual focus of exploring career pathways in the atmospheric and related sciences, with a particular added emphasis this year on career options in the private sector. Specific sessions, chaired by leading scientists and practitioners, will cover topics such as: current issues and topics, emerging trends in science and technology, career choices, and undergraduate and graduate student research. The intent of the conference is to provide information that will assist students in thinking about their future in our sciences at this critical time in their educational progression. A student welcoming buffet dinner and career fair will be held Saturday evening. It will provide a forum for students to personally interact with potential employers (with particular emphasis on the private sector) and to meet with representatives of graduate schools. It will give them the opportunity to establish contacts and set up follow-up interviews. The career fair will continue throughout the week of the annual meeting, with students having the continuing opportunity to post their resume, establish contacts, and set up on-site interviews. All attendees of the Student Conference are encouraged to submit their resumes to AMS Headquarters by mail or email prior to the annual meeting. Those resumes that are received by 19 December 2003 will be distributed to employer participants prior to the Fair. Resumes may be mailed to Career Fair - Resume, AMS, 45 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02108 or e-mailed as an attached PDF to careerfair@ametsoc.org. Those students who cannot meet the deadline may drop off their resume during the fair’s hours of operation. Featured speakers at the conference include Brigadier General John (Jack) Kelly, Jr., Ret., Acting Deputy Undersecretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere, NOAA and Vice Admiral Paul Gaffney, Ret., President, Monmouth University. In addition, Science's Next Wave, www.nextwave.org, a weekly online publication that focuses on the careers of graduate students, postdocs, and other early career scientists will be presenting a session on networking and informational interviewing. Presentations for the Student Conference will be scheduled as a poster. Posters for this conference are solicited covering a wide range of student interest and activities. No registration fee is charged to the student participants for this conference because of the generous donations of members to the AMS 21st Century Campaign. This ensures that as many students as possible have the opportunity to attend without having to face the financial burden that might otherwise preclude their participation. Education is a key component of the 21st Century Campaign, which continues to focus on fund raising for events – such as the Student Conference – that help provide support and encouragement to the future leaders of the atmospheric and related sciences. Students interested in more information should contact Stephanie Armstrong, AMS Headquarters at armstrong@ametsoc.org or by phone at 617-227-2426, ext 235. Students must preregister online there will be no onsite registration. Registration for the 84th AMS Annual Meeting does not include the 3rd AMS Student Conference.
AMS Annual Career Fair The AMS Career Fair, intended to facilitate the employment process for both applicants and recruiters, will be held in conjunction with the 84th AMS Annual Meeting. The Career Fair will provide employers seeking qualified personnel and individuals seeking employment an opportunity to interact. Employers may post open positions, review current resumes, and meet with the candidates of their choice.

Second AMS Users Conference: Uses of and Needs for Weather and Climate
Services in Managing Water Resources/Hydropower, Surface Transportation,
and Agriculture The conference, organized by the User Conference Subcommittee of the AMS Economic Development Committee, will interest managers and other end users of commercial weather and climate services in three different but related communities: water resources/hydropower, surface transportation, and agriculture. Practitioners, decision makers, and other end users and potential end users of commercial and public weather and climate products and services are encouraged to attend. The AMS wants to facilitate dialogue between successful users of both commercial and public weather and climate products and services and their peers about the problems faced and solutions found using these products and services. One goal is to encourage potential users of such products and services to become users, thereby increasing the value of weather and climate information to society in general and to weather- and climate-sensitive economic sectors in particular. This conference will differ from many conferences that the AMS sponsors in that the focus will be on end users of weather and climate products and services, user experiences, and user needs, rather than on the products and services themselves or on the science and technology behind the products and services. The Society also welcomes product and service providers from industry and government to attend and to listen to end users in application areas talk about their challenges, successes, and needs. For more information or questions contact Program Chairperson George Frederick (tel: 303-402-4728; e-mail george.frederick@vaisala.com) or the co-chairs for the three sectors: Water Resources/Hydropower, Jean Vieux (tel: 405-292-6259; e-mail: jv@vieuxinc.com); Surface Transportation, Ed Boselly (tel: 360- 705-7863; e-mail: boselle@wsdot.wa.gov); and Agriculture, Jim Block (tel: 952-882-4521; e-mail: jim.block@meteorlogix.com); or the AMS Private Sector Coordinator Gary Rasmussen (tel: 617-227-2426 ext. 338; e-mail: grasmussen@ametsoc.org). CO-SPONSORSIf your organization is interested in cosponsoring the conference, please contact the AMS Private Sector Coordinator: Gary Rasmussen, American Meteorological Society, 45 Beacon Street, Boston, MA 02108-3693 (tel: 617-227-2426 ext. 338; fax: 617-742-8718; e-mail: grasmussen@ametsoc.org).
Third Communications Workshop Funding support for the atmospheric sciences continues to struggle—in part because of the world situation and a tightening of the budget belt and, in part, because of our inability to tell the great atmospheric science stories. According to research done by the authors of “World’s Apart: How the Distance Between Science and Journalism Threatens America’s Future”, nearly every newspaper in the country has an astrology column. Very few have a weekly science column. Why? Because scientists and journalists do not always speak the same language, editors chose which stories will be published, and the two groups do not have a great deal of confidence in each other. What can be done? Jim Hartz and Rick Chappell, authors of “World’s Apart,” recommend opening a dialogue between the two communities; training the scientists to explain the science in plain terms; and teaching journalists to speak science. Are you interested in changing the dynamics between journalists and scientists? Then please plan on taking part in the Third Communications Workshop at the 84th Annual Meeting. The workshop is part of an ongoing effort by the Society to strengthen the relationship between the atmospheric science community and the media. The Communications Workshop will include:
The workshop is open to all attendees at the Annual Meeting at no fee. Those interested must register on the AMS Web site prior to the meeting. For more information contact Stephanie Kenitzer, (425) 432-2192, Kenitzer@dc.ametsoc.org.

Kelly, Jr., Brigadier General, USAF (Ret.) will host a meeting with stakeholders on January 12, 2004 in Seattle, Washington. This meeting will focus on NOAA’s new Strategic Plan and will be designed to stimulate dialogue about NOAA’s future. The Stakeholder Forum will be open to all users who have interests in NOAA’s current and future programs and will be held in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society’s Annual Meeting and Users Conference at the Seattle Convention Center.
Daily Weather Briefings The University of Wisconsin—Madison’s Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) together with the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Seattle Forecast Office will provide the weather briefings for the 2004 AMS Annual Meeting. The 30-minute briefings will be provided twice per day, Monday–Thursday, in the morning at 7:45am before conference sessions begin and midday at 12:45pm during the lunch break. The weather briefings will review current conditions in the United States, provide a nowcast for the Pacific Northwest and a short term forecast for the U.S. The briefings will utilize the increasing variety of observational tools that are used in analysis and forecast systems as well as demonstrate the visualization tools used by the education, research, and operational communities. The briefings will be held in room 6B of the Washington State Convention and Trade Center.
Town Hall Meeting: The New Management Team at the WMO Are you interested in finding out more about the WMO—its purpose, its people, its future plans? Did you know that at the 14th WMO Congress this past May in Geneva, Switzerland, an entirely new management team was elected and for the first time in 20 years the WMO will have a new secretary-general leading the organization? If you are interested in finding out more, and in participating in an open, informal dialogue with key individuals from the United Nation’s World Meteorological Organization, please plan to attend the 2004 Private Sector Town Hall Meeting. Sponsored by the AMS Board on Private Sector Meteorology and the National Council of Industrial Meteorologists (NCIM), this session hopes to engage the WMO management team on topics of interest to the private sector and AMS members in general. As in the past, the format will consist of a panel and moderator including Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of WMO, two or more newly elected officers of the WMO, a representative from the U.S. delegation to the WMO and a private sector representative. Among the likely topics of discussion are what the most daunting challenges facing the WMO over the next four years. What are the biggest challenges facing the new WMO management team; what does this new management team conisder to be WMO's greatest successes in recent years; what is their position on the current status of data exchange (Resolution 40); how do they envision the three sectors (public, private, academic) of the global weather community cooperating in the future; what is the new WMO team's position on Private Sector participation in matters involving the Executive Council and WMO Congress, as well as WMO technical commissions, working groups, etc.; what value will this new WMO team place on the participation of broadcasters (through IABM) and manufacturers (through HMEI) in future WMO activities? So please plan to attend a session that is destined to bring light to a subject many in the community want to know more about but were afraid to ask!
Symposium on Space Weather The theme of “prediction” for the 84th Annual Meeting is highly appropriate for the space weather science and operations communities, which, while lagging several decades behind their counterparts in meteorology, anticipate developing stronger forecast capabilities in the near future. Space weather environments include those regions of the atmosphere upward from the thermosphere and ionosphere through the magnetosphere, interplanetary medium to the sun. To date, these regions have been data starved and operational capabilities to model or forecast these environments are in their infancy. With the recent and near-future space weather sensors on NASA, NOAA and USAF research and weather satellites, this situation is rapidly improving and the prospects for substantial real-time data to feed improved generations of specification and prediction models are excellent. Space weather scientists, operators and vendors are in a unique position to benefit from the past 20 to 50 years of developments in meteorology as their discipline achieves a new level of maturity. A major theme of the Symposium on Space Weather will be to examine the similarities between space weather and tropospheric weather in a number of areas with emphasis on data assimilation and new efforts to produce seamless models from the oceans upward toward the sun. Future satellite and ground-based capabilities for simultaneous measurements of both the lower and upper atmosphere will be highlighted. Additional areas of interest include comparisons of operational products, industry needs and value added products from vendors. The Symposium on Space Weather will begin with a joint session with the Symposium on Education on January 12 and will be followed by two days of presentations, January 13—14, 2004. The Symposium will include a special showing of the IMAX movie, Solar Max, at the Pacific Science Center’s Boeing IMAX Theater, Tuesday, January 13, 2004 at 7:00 PM. The showing of the film is sponsored by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Living With a Star Program; the U.S. Navy’s Office of Naval Research (ONR) Ocean, Atmosphere and Space Department; and the National Science Foundation, Division of Atmospheric Sciences. A reception sponsored by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company will precede the film at 6:00 PM. Attendance is limited to 400 people. Tickets will be distributed at the Symposium on Space Weather and at the bus pickup location. Bus transportation will be provided to and from the Pacific Science Center.
Evening Session: Status Report on the Mid Term Review of the 10-Year Vision Study Monday, 12 January 7:00—9:00 p.m. The AMS Council has established a committee to review the Society’s progress in implementing the 10-Year Vision Study and to suggest any needed actions that should be taken to better position the Society to achieve this vision. The 10-Year Vision Study is posted to the AMS web site. This committee is co-chaired by Phil Arkin and Mary Glackin. They are supported by five subcommittees aligned with the five major themes of the AMS Vision Document: Multidisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, Outreach, Communications and Computer Technology, and Finances and Development. This evening session will provide both a status report on the findings and preliminary recommendations of the Review Committee and an opportunity to provide input on the effort.
Second Presidential History Symposium The History Symposium will consist of papers that broadly address historical issues of “prediction” in the development of scientific theory and applications in the geophysical sciences. Possible themes might include the role of patronage in determining what gets predicted, how disciplinary communities determine the predictability of an event or phenomenon, how the public has viewed scientific prediction, scientific controversies surrounding predictions, and how predictions have affected the development of governmental policy. Historians of science and scientists engaged in historical research are strongly encouraged to attend , and all are welcome. For more information, please contact History Committee Chairperson Kristine Harper, 946 NW Circle Blvd., No. 306, Corvallis, OR 97330-1410 (email: kharper@proaxis.com).
Presidential Symposium on the Advances of Environmental Remote Sensing—The National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS) The Presidential Symposium on the Advances of Environmental Remote Sensing—The National Polar-Orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS), sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the NPOESS Symposium Committee, will feature a full day of invited papers and a panel of operational users. To highlight all aspects of the NPOESS program, the presenters include program personnel, remote sensing experts, sensor and algorithm developers, and operational users.

NOAA Satellite System Forums—2004 NOAA, along with its national and international partners, is currently planning the next generation of polar and geostationary satellites for the 2010–2012 time frame and beyond that will have markedly improved spectral, spatial, temporal resolution; and radiometric performance in imagers, sounders, and other instruments. Following a review and update of current satellite systems (POES, NPOESS, GOES), a panel of experts will discuss the current status and future plans for NOAA’s civil operational environmental satellite systems, with an emphasis on the GOES-R series. The goal of this forum is to enlighten the society’s membership and foster discussion for use in planning coming generations of NOAA satellite remote sensing measurements and information needs. There will be brown bag lunches courtesy of ITT. For further information, contact Gerald Dittberner, NOAA/NESDIS, SSMC1, Room 5200, 1335 East West Highway, Silver Spring, MD 20190, (tel: 301-713-2789, ext. 145, fax: 301-713-3136, e-mail: Gerald.Dittberner@noaa.gov).
UV Index Town Hall Meeting The World Meteorological Organization, World Health Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme and the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection recently recommended a new international standard for UV Index reporting, called the Global Solar UV Index. As part of a campaign to harmonize and raise awareness of the UV Index both domestically and globally, the Environmental Protection Agency and National Weather Service are considering adopting this new standard. At the UV Index Town Hall Meeting, the EPA and NWS invite representatives from the weather services industry and any other interested individuals to discuss the widespread adoption of the Global Solar UV Index and strategies for raising awareness. For further information, please contact Jason Samenow, U.S. EPA Office of Atmospheric Programs, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20460 (tel: 202-343-9327; fax is 202-343-2338; e-mail: samenow.jason@epa.gov).
Special Session: The Future Role of the Human in the Forecast Process—An Interactive Forum On 30 September 2003, the National Weather Service implemented its National Digital Forecast Database. The process by which the NDFD is produced, and methods for creation of new products by the various sectors of our profession, is becoming increasingly automated. We are at a critical time in our profession, where increased automation in the forecast process is causing a re-evaluation of how humans can add value to computer-generated output. How can humans add value to computer-generated output on a routine basis? What role should humans have in the evolving forecast and warning process? What does this mean for the future of our profession? What education, training and skill sets will be needed in the future? This forum is intended to establish a foundation for additional, routine forums on the evolving role of the human in the forecast process, and to provide input to decision-makers, to influence their perceptions of how to keep humans in the forecast process. Session 1: Tuesday Evening 13 January 7:00 P.M.—900 P.M. Room separated into 8 sections, 8 groups of roughly equal number rotate to a different section every 15 minutes to debate/discuss a different issue. Eight facilitators will initiate discussion on one issue each, and record the discussion/proceedings for each of the 8 groups. Immediately after Session 1, results are organized and discussed, and outline for next session created. This is an opportunity for meteorologists in all sectors of the profession, to offer honest, uninhibited opinions on how the role of the human in the forecast process should evolve. This experimental format is intended to provide a more intimate setting, where all participants can feel more comfortable sharing their thoughts on each topic. Please go to http://www.ametsoc.org/boardpges/bogm/ or contact Neil A. Stuart at Neil.Stuart@noaa.gov for more details. We look forward to seeing you in Seattle.
Town Hall Meeting: The Climate Change Science Program A town hall meeting, sponsored by the 15th Symposium on Global Change and Climate Variations, on the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) will be held on Tuesday, 13 January 2004, 7:30–9:30 P.M. The Climate Change Science Program integrates research on global change and climate change sponsored by 13 participating federal governmental departments and agencies. It coordinates approximately $1.7 billion in research annually. In July 2003, the program recently completed a strategic science plan for the coming decade. The plan articulates a new vision and mission for climate and global change research that focuses on five overarching goals and a large number of related science objectives and deliverables in seven research elements. This town hall meeting will focus on the integration of research activities across the various federal agencies to address these goals and produce approximately 20 CCSP synthesis and assessment products over the next four years. Representatives of the CCSP and participating federal agencies will provide an overview of the new program and discuss plans for implementation. Emphasis will be on dialogue regarding opportunities and challenges. For more information, please contact Richard H. Moss, Climate Change Science Program Office, 1717 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Suite 250, Washington, DC 20006, (tel: 202-419-3476; fax: 202-223-3908; e-mail: rmoss@usgcrp.gov.)
Special Session: Review of Research in NOAA NOAA has asked its Science Advisory Board to appoint a team of five
scientists to conduct a review of research performed in the Office of
Oceanic and Atmospheric Research(OAR). The charter for the review
includes: review of the efficiency and effectiveness of the NOAA
research enterprise; establishing if OAR is adequately linked to NOAA’s
service organizations; and assessing if the research programs are
relevant to the needs of these organizations.
The Fourth Presidential Policy Forum: Weather and National Security For the most part, meteorologists work on problems of broad humanitarian concern. We develop science and forecasts needed to provide a measure of protection in the face of hurricanes, winter storms, and other extremes; slake the world’s thirst; feed growing populations; foster economic growth; and sustain the environment and ecosystems. However, periods of global upheaval have placed additional demands on our shoulders. Today we are asked to provide weather support for military operations strung across the globe. We are called upon to maintain public safety in the face of terrorist threats including weapons of mass destruction, and the release of biological and chemical agents, especially in the urban environment. The technical cutting edge of this work is described in some of the specialist sessions. This Presidential Policy Forum provides a view from the top. What are the strategic needs for our services? What are their policy implications? What about ethical and moral issues associated with this work? How can we most effectively and ethically contribute to national and societal well being in the face of these demands? Dr. Elbert W. (Joe) Friday, AMS President, will set the stage. Brigadier General Thomas E. Stickford, USAF Weather chief, has been asked to provide the Air Force view. Rear Admiral Thomas Q. Donaldson, V, has been invited to give a Navy perspective. The second half of the forum will be devoted to homeland security. Penrose C. (Parney) Albright, Assistant Secretary, DHS, has been invited to speak to user needs. Bruce B. Hicks, Director, Air Resources Laboratory, NOAA, will speak to the supply side.
Special Session on Women in the Atmospheric and Related Sciences The session will include presentations, a roundtable discussion, and a light brunch allowing time for informal networking. The presentations will discuss the history and accomplishments of the AMS Board on Women and Minorities, participation and retention of women in the scientific workforce, recruitment of women faculty, outcomes and follow-up activities of the Second WMO Conference on Women in Meteorology and Hydrology, and the proposed Joint Society Initiative to Increase Diversity in the Geosciences. The session organizers are Susan Avery, Mary Glackin, Dian Seidel, and Julie Winkler.
