Abstract Fee and Author Instructions
All presenters must also register for the meeting.

The 28th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the Committee on Satellite Meteorology .

Student and Early Career Professionals Event

The 28th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology will be co-hosting with other Conferences and Symposia the 13th Annual Speed Networking Event [13SPNE]. The event allows students and early career professionals to network with mentors via “speed networking” where the mentors (meteorology and allied discipline professionals) roam between tables at set intervals introducing the students and early professionals to a wide array of professions in the field of meteorology. The Speed Networking will include a social with heavy hors d'oeuvres, providing a great time for open networking. This allows the students, the early career professionals, and the mentors of their selected discipline to have extended conversations after their speed-mentoring.

Student Award Opportunities

Student Presentation Awards

The 28th Conference on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology is proud to provide outstanding student presentation awards at the AMS 107th Annual Meeting in Denver, CO 10-14 January 2027. Monetary awards of up to $200 will be distributed for oral presentations and poster presentations in addition to a PDF certificate from AMS. Students must be enrolled at a college or university at the time of submission and must be the lead author and personally present the work at the meeting. Submitters should indicate their eligibility for student awards when submitting their abstracts. Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by early February 2027.

The basis for an award will be:

  1. The research topic and impact
  2. Experimental Design
  3. Interpretation of Results
  4. Quality of the presentation (oral and poster/slides) and the Student’s delivery
