The objectives of the American Meteorological Society are "the development and dissemination of knowledge of meteorology in all its phases and applications, and the advancement of its professional ideals." The organization of the Society took place in affiliation with the American Association for the Advancement of Science at Saint Louis, Missouri, December 29, 1919, and its incorporation, at Washington, D. C., January 21, 1920. The work of the Society is carried on by the Bulletin, the Journal, and Meteorological Monographs, by papers and discussions at meetings of the Society, through the offices of the Secretary and the Executive Secretary, and by correspondence. All of the Americas are represented in the membership of the Society as well as many foreign countries.

This book looks at the circulation features of the Southern Hemisphere, both for the atmosphere and oceans. It includes observational techniques based on satellites, anchored and drifting buoys, and the research carried out at research stations in the Southern Hemisphere. The book was originally published in 1972 by the American Meteorological Society. It has been revised and updated in 1999, following the expansion of research bases and the development of research in the region at the time.

The Pendleton (Oregon) Project, conducted between September 1968 and May 1970, was designed to study in detail the effects of meteorological conditions on sonic booms. Data consisted of booms of opportunity resulting from U.S. Air Force SR-71 training missions, flying at or above 20 km faster than Mach 2.5. These were recorded by a dense grid and line array of self-activated microphone-recorder systems; results were compared with those computed by the ARAP sonic boom propagation program using the observed as well as the standard atmosphere. A total of 46 sonic booms, involving over 1800 signatures, were selected for the final analysis. Meteorological data consisted of conventional upper-air soundings to above aircraft level, and routine, detailed sampling of boundary layer structure and turbulence by means of a specially instrumented light aircraft.
