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.

EWRI/ASCE 39-03 provides useful information for implementing operational hail suppression activities, and provides information on the successful design, conduct, and evaluation of such efforts. Because the effects for seeding clouds for hail suppression on a storm's rainfall are not fully understood, a number of hail suppression concepts have been formulated. The five concepts most commonly employed in the context of operational hail suppression projects are included in this book: Beneficial Competition, Early Rainout, Trajectory Lowering, Promotion of Coalescence, and Dynamic Effects. The standard provides the best scientific and technical knowledge currently available on hail suppression to ascribe a process through which hail suppression should be designed, organized, and conducted to optimize the likelihood of success."
