CMOS Bulletin SCMO Vol. 45, No.2
Excerpts from: Atmosphere Volume 5, 1967 Compiled by Richard Asselin, Former Director, CMOS Publications, Member of Ottawa Centre THE WAY FORWARD “Canada has very special needs for meteorological science. It behooves the society to examine these needs and to give itself an additional purpose, namely to advance the science of meteorology in the service of Canada. …some meteorology should be taught in schools. Looking to the future, therefore, the society must aim at providing common ground on which all who are concerned with physical events in the atmosphere can meet to discuss their problems and draw on one another's experience. At present, the membership of the society is mainly composed of professional meteorologists most of whom are concerned with the atmosphere alone. Only a few are concerned with the interactions of the atmosphere and our environment. The purpose then of establishing our own society is to widen the membership to include those whose main interest includes other matters and who see the significance of meteorology and who wish to advance both meteorology and their own special sphere of interest.” “The Taxation Division has been approached, but were not encouraging about having C.M.S. fees registered as tax- deductable [sic]. They have promised to give the matter further study.” “The results of the questionnaire that was sent to all members of the Canadian Branch of the Royal Meteorological Society last fall are, up to March 7, as follows: 430 Questionnaires sent out; 220 Remaining with R. Met. S.; 315 Joining C.M.S.”
Carleton University, Ottawa, May 24-26, 1967.
There were 28 papers in 6 sessions on Cloud and Precipitation Physics, Dynamic Meteorology, Applied Meteorology and Climatology, Upper Atmosphere and Meteorology Today in parallel with Winds and Turbulence, and Meteorology and the Future. The “ sessions will be held in Alumni Theatre B in Southam Hall. This theatre seats 225 and is most suitable; the banquet-luncheon will be held in the University Dining Hall. The cost will be $2.50 per person.” No report on attendance or significant events has been found, but a photo showing 94 participants (most of them identified by name) is available on the CMOS web site. ATMOSPHERE The first policy on authors’ “reprints” is formulated (50 free, etc.). What Next? … there
were two points of view regarding the [future] character of ATMOSPHERE. One: it should not contain anything scientific; the other was diametrically opposed, that ATMOSPHERE should be in competition with
the JOURNAL OF APPLIED METEOROLOGY, or THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF
THE
ROYAL METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY. “ We feel that both of these are unrealistic. … in our present circumstances, a professional journal is one that we are far from being able to afford. This seems to us to be a long-term goal of merit, but something that will take many years to properly achieve.”
that fit in with our concept of what we can be at this point in time.” [from this point on, most of the content of ATMOSPHERE has been scientific articles, some by foreign authors] For the first time, 4 issues were published this year.
THE WEATHER THAT WAS – 1966, and SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF CANADIAN WEATHER IN CENTENNIAL YEAR 1967 by
M.K. Thomas, both in Volume 5, no 2 of ATMOSPHERE form a precedent for the more recent practice of publishing the annual review of the 10 weather stories by David Philips. [Thomas also published CENTENNIAL WEATHER 1967, in Volume 6, no1]
