Committee on Artificial Intelligence Applications to Environmental Science

The term artificial intelligence denotes a large body of advanced computer techniques that are useful to meteorologists and those working in related disciplines. Society members concerned with artificial intelligence include forecasters who wish to improve forecast skill; psychologists who wish to improve the human forecasting environment by using intelligent and human computer assistance; statisticians who are interested in evaluating the performance of both humans and machines; researchers who wish to create an organized, modified base of current meteorological knowledge; and computer scientists who wish to develop sophisticated and useful computer programs.
 

The functions of the Committee on Artificial Intelligence Applications to Environmental Science are:

  1.   to encourage the use of artificial intelligence techniques to advance those fields of endeavor  of interest to the society;
  2.   to support the publication in the Society's journals of high quality publications on the use of  artificial intelligence;
  3.   to assess new results from the field of artificial intelligence for efficacy and for relevance to  meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology;
  4.   to encourage researchers in the field of artificial intelligence to address problem areas that are of interest to the Society;
  5.   to serve as a communications link and focal point for discussions among Society members  who are using, or who would like to use, artificial intelligence techniques;
  6.   to interact with other AMS committees and other societies in matters involving artificial intelligence;
  7.   to encourage and support, as appropriate, sessions focusing on the use of artificial intelligence in the Society's topical meetings; and
  8.  to cosponsor, on behalf of the Society, topical meetings on the applications of artificial intelligence to environmental science.
