What's New?
New AMS Survey
Calling all private sector meteorologists! The AMS Mind the Gap Ad-Hoc Committee is conducting a survey through 31 July 2022 to identify curriculum gaps and challenges that lead to a lack of preparation for students pursuing careers in the private sector. The survey is anonymous, and should take less than 8 minutes to complete. The information obtained from this survey will help the Mind the Gap committee in their ongoing effort to develop better strategies to educate the next generation of atmospheric scientists for industry
needs. To participate in this survey, use this link. Contact Max Vido (mvido@acespower.com) with any questions about the survey or the project.

AMS Glossary Word of the Month
|
|
|
|
When a tropical cyclone exhibits concentric eyewalls, the outer eyewall often contracts and replaces the inner one.
A cycle typically takes about one day to complete and is accompanied by significant fluctuations in central surface pressure and maximum wind speed, with maximum winds exceeding 50 m s-1 (96 knots). The cycle may repeat indefinitely. |
