Abstract Fee and Author Instructions
All presenters must also register for the meeting.
The 21st Annual Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems is sponsored by the American Meteorological Society and organized by the AMS Committee on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology.
Student and Early Career Professionals Event
The 21st Annual Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellites will be co-hosting with other Conferences and Symposia the 11th Annual Speed Networking Event for Students and Early Career Professionals [11SPNE]. 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 21st Annual Symposium on Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, and the 15th Conference on Transition of Research to Operations are pleased to co-host Student Presentation Awards at the 105th Annual Meeting. Award certificates and cash prizes of up to $200 will be given for the best Student oral and poster presentations. Students who wish to be considered for these awards should indicate so when submitting their abstract. Please indicate your level of education at the time of submission, (examples: graduate student, undergraduate student, high school student). In order to be considered for an award, the Student must be the lead and presenting author.
The basis for an award will be:
- Originality of the work,
- Quality of the presentation (oral and poster/slides) and the Student’s delivery.
Award recipients will be informed of the committee's decision by mid-February 2025.
