" weather forecasting for urban areas and city dwellers.
The purpose and functions of the Board on Urban Environment are to:
1. Provide a focal point for those working in urban meteorology and related fields, and to foster interaction with other AMS committees and other societies in matters related to the meteorology of urban environments
2. Raise awareness of issues in atmospheric science and technology that apply to the urban environment
3. Give advice to the Society in matters concerning urban meteorology, and serve the AMS as reference, referee, representative, or spokesperson, as requested
4. Participate in and organize scientific meetings and symposia on the urban environment in order to stimulate further research and clarify pertinent problems
5. Support publication of high quality articles on the urban environment in AMS journals.
6. Nominate distinguished individuals to become Fellows and to receive awards of the Society.
7. Review nominations for and select an annual winner of the Helmut E. Landsberg Award.
