37th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology

30 March–3 April 2026 | San Diego, CA and Online

The 37th Conference on Hurricanes and Tropical Meteorology, sponsored by the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and organized by the AMS Committee on Tropical Meteorology and Tropical Cyclones, will be held 30 March–3 April 2026 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla and online. Preliminary programs and registration details will be posted on the AMS website mid-January 2026.  General information on hotel accommodations is available on the AMS website.

Questions or requests should be addressed to the program chairs (Andrea Jenney, Angelie Nieves Jiménez, and Chanh Kieu).

AMS policy limits participants to one oral presentation each (you may submit more than one abstract but please note any additional will be assigned as posters).  Please submit abstracts electronically via the web no later than 13 November 2025. A fee of $120.00* (payable by credit card) will be charged at the time of submission of each abstract (refundable only if abstract is not accepted).  

When submitting your abstract, you can indicate whether you prefer a poster or an oral presentation. If you are a student, please also indicate if you would like to be considered for student awards. The availability of oral presentations, however, will depend on the number of submissions. Please also note that while you will be asked to select a session during submission, the final program is subject to change, and your presentation may be placed in a different session to ensure balance and coherence across the program.

Authors of accepted presentations will be notified via e-mail by mid-January 2026. More information on student awards will also be made available around that time. Instructions for formatting extended abstracts will be posted on the AMS website. The non-student award extended abstracts (file size up to 10 MB) must be submitted electronically by 6 June 2024.  All abstracts, extended abstracts, and presentations (including the recordings of those who grant permission) will be made available on the AMS website.

*If you are unable to provide payment for the abstract submission fee at this time due to recent federal restrictions (e.g. spending freeze) or associated uncertainty, please complete this form by 19 November 2025 at 10:00 AM ET and we will provide you with a code that can be used to delay payment. Payment is due by 7 January 2026 at 3 PM ET.
