The AMS is a global community committed to advancing weather, water, and climate science and service.
We advance understanding through high-impact, peer-reviewed scientific publications—including the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
We bring together atmospheric scientists, professionals, students, authors, educators, researchers, and weather enthusiasts from around the world to share and collaborate.
We offer certification programs, online learning, and other professional development opportunities so that our members can learn, grow, and succeed.
We help educators and policy-makers bring the very latest weather, water, and climate science to bear on our nation’s future… and the world’s.
For 35 years I’ve been a proud member of the AMS. My life, personal and professional, has been enriched by this community with whom I share my passion, and I relish the endearing friendships that I’ve made with so many of its members. Over the years, I’ve chaperoned several hundreds of undergraduate meteorology students to the Annual Meetings. It is satisfying to know that so many have continued on as active members and leaders, giving to this Society as volunteers and, in return, gaining from the historic legacy that they inherit and promising future that they will help forge
Join a vibrant community of almost 12,000 professionals, students, and enthusiasts who share knowledge, improve technology, and disseminate science to ensure that our planet can thrive.
The perceptually dominant wavelength of light from green thunderstorms ranges from blue-green to yellow-green. The purity of the color is generally low and the physical mechanism that causes the green appearance is not understood. Although green clouds often occur in conjunction with severe weather, there is no evidence to support anecdotal attributions of the cause of this green to specific characteristics of severe storms, such as hail or tornadoes.
