#HispanicHeritageMonth Spotlight: Andrea Lopez Lang @alopezlang.bsky.social is a professor at @uwmad-aos.bsky.social.

She served as AMS Councilor, chair of the Board on Enterprise Economic Development, and Associate Editor for Monthly Weather Review and Weather and Forecasting.

We’re thrilled to welcome Bee Leung to our faculty! A cloud physicist and mesoscale meteorologist by training, her research looks at the physical processes driving land-aerosol-cloud interactions. Learn more about Bee in our Q&A: www.aos.wisc.edu/news/q-a_wel...

Congrats!! What great news!

Congratulation Elena!

She’s doing awesome work to assess sources of subseasonal prediction skill in our research group!

Members of NOAA’s Scientific Advisory Board will provide update on our ability/inability to meet the requirements and laws of the Weather Act.

We will discuss the outcomes from the AMS Weather Enterprise Study, highlighting how cuts at federal agencies impact the entire enterprise’s ability to serve the nation and sustain economic prosperity.

Sessions cover the role of weather, water, and climate in energy security, and resiliency for transportation. We will advance conversations about AI and ethics as well as open data vs. data for profit in the weather, water, and climate enterprise.

📢 The 2025 @ametsoc.org Washington Forum & Summer Community Meeting on weather, water, & climate enterprise policy & community is ~2 weeks away📢

Keynotes: Marcia McNutt (@nasonline.org President), Craig McLean (Former NOAA Asst. Administrator) & a Congressional Rep.

One of the motivations for NOAA’s (a Department of Commerce agency) creation of this list was to quantify the economic importance of weather and climate information for the US. It is widely used to support further investments in weather and climate operations and science at the federal level. 🧐

UW–Madison is the birthplace of satellite meteorology, and that legacy of innovative research continues today, helping keep people and communities safe.

2nd Call: @justinminder.bsky.social and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply. Application deadline is this Friday 5/9. www.atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/tan...

AOS Professor Dan Vimont spoke with Wisconsin Public Radio about the repercussions of cuts impacting the National Climate Assessment.

The statement includes key actions you can take now. The consequences of these haphazard actions would be devastating!

The plan “…eliminates NOAA's Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Office and its 10 research laboratories and 16 affiliated Cooperative Institutes…one only needs to see what NOAA research has provided to the U.S. taxpayer and imagine where we would be without…” www.ametsoc.org/ams/about-am...

It's #DayoftheBadger! This year, we need our AOS community to step up more than ever. Gifts help secure student internships, research experience, and career development opportunities that are essential for student success in a world where those opportunities have become scarcer: go.wisc.edu/3eyg67

In a new statement, the Board of Directors of the Meteorological Society of Japan (MSJ) expresses deep concern over recent and ongoing rapid reductions in scientific research and academic capabilities in the U.S., particularly in meteorology and the atmospheric sciences.

It's not something you hear often from the very people that spend their lives predicting disaster.

Statement: U.S. leadership in scientific innovation is at risk, with wide-ranging consequences for public safety and the economy. The AMS urges strong support for NOAA & other federal scientific agencies working in weather and climate.

The forecast, data, model development, science, communication coordination and all the work that occurs because of NOAA’s activities not only saves lives but the work of NOAA also impacts nearly every sector of the economy. Life, business, & economic decisions can be made because NOAA exists.

So sorry to hear this, Zack!

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government.
