Mountain Meteorology Student OpportunityThe AMS Committee on Mountain Meteorology is seeking two new student members. Any current graduate student doing research related to mountain weather and climate is eligible to serve. Students typically serve 2-year terms. The Committee on Mountain Meteorology serves as a nexus for those matters relevant to the meteorological community that are fundamentally affected by complex terrain. A primary responsibility of our committee is the organization of the biennial Conference on Mountain Meteorology. Other aspects of our mission can be found here. Student members play a vital role in committee activities. Interested graduate students should email committee chair Ethan Gutmann ([email protected]) with a CV and short (1 paragraph) statement of interest by 15 August 2022. Our committee values and seeks to include diverse perspectives. As such, we encourage applications from students of all demographic groups, especially those that may currently be underrepresented in our community. Students are encouraged to reach out with any questions they may have about the position. Questions may be directed to the above email address or to recent/current student members: Peter Veals, Annareli Morales, Nicola Bodini, Johnathan Metz, or Matthew Brewer. |

The 20th Conference on Mountain Meteorology
The 20th Conference on Mountain Meteorology was held in Park City, Utah, the first hybrid conference. It was co-chaired by Annareli Morales and Bianca Adler. The early career award was given to Dr. Kristen Rasmussen at Colorado State University, and the named session was held in honor of Dr. John Horel at the University of Utah.
The 19th Conference on Mountain Meteorology
The 19th Conference on Mountain Meteorology was held in online in the first virtual Mountain Met conference. It was co-chaired by Sebastian Hoch and Lynn McMurdie. The early career award was given to Dr. Ivana Stiperski at the University of Innsbruck, and the named session was held in honor of Dr. Vanda Grubisic at the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
The 18th Conference on Mountain Meteorology
The 18th Conference on Mountain Meteorology was held in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The early career award was given to Dr. Justin Minder at SUNY Albany, and the named session was held in honor of Dr. Jim Steenburgh at the University of Utah.
The 17th Conference on Mountain Meteorology
The 17th Conference on Mountain Meteorology was held June 27- July 1, 2016 in Burlington, Vermont on the shores of Lake Champlain and was co-chaired by Stephan De Wekker (University of Virginia) and Erik Crosman (University of Utah). There were 155 submissions, with 131 presenting authors from 15 countries. Roughly 2/3 of the papers were given orally and 1/3 were posters. As an experiment, each poster session was split into two periods with a break for oral presentations in between to reduce “poster session fatigue.” Feedback on this was mixed.
The “Mountain Meteorology Named Session Award,” which replaced the previous “Mountain Meteorology Award,” was presented for the first time to Shiyuan (Sharon) Zhong (Michigan State University) for distinguished contributions to the understanding of boundary layers in complex terrain through observational campaigns and numerical simulation. Heather Reeves (NOAA/MRMS) received a STAC Award in Mountain Meteorology in recognition of her creativity in developing and administering the Mountain Meteorology Webinar series. Student awards were presented to Maximo Menchaca (University of Washington) and Carly Wright (University of Reading) who tied for best oral presentation while Jennifer DeHart (University of Washington) was recognized for best poster.
THE 2016 FRANCIS W. REICHELDERFER AWARD
John Horel (U Utah)
For development and leadership of the MesoWest observational network in support of operations, research, and education to improve understanding and forecasting of mountain meteorology.
THE 2016 HENRY G. HOUGHTON AWARD
Fotini Katopodes Chow (UC Berkeley)
For insightful studies of the atmospheric boundary layer and flows over complex terrain using large-eddy simulation.
