With this membership, AGI provides the following:

AMS Publications Commission Meeting

AMS welcomes Chief Editors of our journals and other members of the Publications Commission to Boston for their annual meeting May 22-24, 2018. The Commission will discuss and evaluate all aspects of our journals program in order to provide guidance to staff at this meeting and throughout the year. The goal is always to improve our authors' publication experience and to maintain the standing of AMS journals among the finest in the world in meteorology and related sciences.

What's new?
