Welcome to AMS

Welcome to the AMS website for NOAA - the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration! We're excited to be a part of the 92nd AMS Annual Meeting, whose theme of "Technology in Research and Operations - How We Got Here and Where We're Going" is very timely for us, since where we are going is on the road to building a Weather-Ready Nation.

Building on past successes in decision support services, the National Weather Service is launching community-based pilot projects across the country, ranging in focus from emergency response to integrated environmental services, to enhance the nation's preparedness. NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research and National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service are moving new science and technology into weather service operations that will improve forecasts, increase lead time and ultimately increase weather-readiness. These are just two examples of what we are doing to help build a Weather-Ready Nation. As you browse our exhibit space, you'll learn about more things we're doing - and what you can do - to build a Weather-Ready Nation.
