Our introductory course packages in Weather, Ocean, and Climate are designed to bring your students world-class education using real-world data, anywhere they learn.

Why Use AMS Curricula?

In 2025-26 academic year, over 110 colleges and universities used our materials in their courses.

AMS curricula have a unique feature: each eInvestigations Manual includes an activity posted weekly that links current events to what students are learning in the course that week. It includes a description, illustrations, and a quiz (with answers for faculty). This helps students connect what they are learning with their daily lives. (Click here for a sample.)

The American Meteorological Society is a leading non-profit, scientific organization supporting atmospheric, oceanic, and climate science. Our textbooks and curriculum include the latest scientific discoveries and research.

Your purchase supports the AMS Education program and allows us to maintain these publications free from political and commercial interference. 

New for 2026: The AMS is proud to announce the migration of our textbooks to an open-access model!
