2019 AMS Annual Meeting

19th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology

The 19th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology.

Topics Covered

Papers for this conference are solicited on the following:

• achievements and challenges in predicting ceiling and visibility;
• advancements in observing and predicting extreme heat and cold to ensure the health of personnel involved in aviation, range, and aerospace operations;
• advances in NWP for Predicting rare, extreme weather that affects aviation, range, and aerospace operations;
• case studies of recent extreme weather at airports, test ranges, and space launch facilities;
• grand interdisciplinary challenges in aviation, range, and aerospace meteorology over the next half century;
• international to global interdisciplinary efforts at improving weather support for aviation;
• latest advancements in research on winter weather that affects aviation, range, and aerospace operations;
• latest tools, data, model results, and techniques for understanding, predicting, and mitigating the impact of turbulence and icing in aviation; lightning monitoring at aviation and range location;
• meteorological datasets to support virtual testing of equipment and materiel at DOD facilities;
• probability as a way to tackle uncertainty and risk across disciplines in the face of high-impact weather in range, aviation, and aerospace meteorology;
• space weather effects on high flyers;
• technologies to manage the impacts of extreme weather on airport landside and airside ground operations;
• toward resilience to climate change at aviation, range, and aerospace facilities; unconventional sources of weather and climate information in aviation, range, and aerospace meteorology;
• understanding the impact of weather on commercial aviation;
• understanding, predicting, and observing severe convective weather for application to aviation, range, and aerospace operations;
• unmanned aerial systems (UAS): what can they provide to meteorology and what do they need from meteorology?;
• weather support needed for the newest trends in developmental and operational testing at DOD facilities;
• and “extreme” weather from the perspective of autonomous and remotely controlled vehicles.

Student Award Opportunities

The Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology (ARAM) committee of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) is proud to award a Best Student Presentation prize at the 19th Conference on Aviation, Range, and Aerospace Meteorology.  This award recognizes outstanding student contributions based on the student's oral or poster presentation.

Contenders for the award must:

 * be enrolled at a university (either at undergraduate or graduate level) at the time of the presentation
 * personally make the presentation of the student's own work

Students who wish to be considered for this prize should indicate that when submitting the abstract.  Previous winners of this prize are no longer eligible.
