33rd Conference of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society

AMOS 2027

Science Australia Depends On

8-12 February 2027

Melbourne, Australia

The AMOS Conference is Australia’s pre-eminent meeting profiling the latest findings in applications of meteorology, climate science and oceanography across local, national and global scales.

Our next conference will be held in Melbourne as we celebrate 40 years of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS). It is a milestone worth marking, but the story we celebrate reaches back much further. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have observed the seasons, weather and waters of this continent, developing knowledge systems that continue to inform how we understand Country today.

Melbourne also occupies a significant place in Australia's scientific history. It has been home to the Bureau of Meteorology since 1908, the University of Melbourne's meteorology department since 1939, and CSIRO's atmospheric research program since 1946. Australian meteorologists and oceanographers began organising formally in 1973 as the Australian Branch of the Royal Meteorological Society, before becoming the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) in 1987.

The science of weather, oceans and climate underpins daily life across Australia. It informs the forecast a farmer relies on, the warning that gives communities time to prepare, and the heat health advice that protects vulnerable people. It also supports the systems that sustain modern Australia, including water resources, energy, transport, food security and critical infrastructure.

This is also science that Australia has a unique responsibility to advance. Our weather, oceans and climate, and our position within the Southern Ocean and Antarctic region, are shaped by processes found nowhere else on Earth. Understanding these systems is a national responsibility, and the knowledge we generate benefits not only Australia, but also our regional neighbours and the global scientific community.

We invite abstract submissions from researchers, practitioners and students from Australia and around the world. Contributions are welcomed across the full breadth of weather, ocean and climate science, spanning fundamental research through to applications in industry, policy, health and ecosystems.

We look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne in February 2027.

The AMOS 2027 Organising Committee

We greatly appreciate the generous support of our

AMOS 2027 sponsors and supporters.

Naarm/Melbourne

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we gather in Naarm/Melbourne, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture, lands and waters, and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples joining AMOS 2027.

About AMOS

The Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society (AMOS) aims to advance scientific understanding of the atmosphere, oceans and climate system. This extends to socioeconomic and ecological impacts. We promote applications of this understanding for the benefit of Australia and its neighbours. The society provides support for and fosters interest in meteorology and oceanography through its publications, meetings, workshops, public events, grants and prizes. We are proud of our long history of service to the professions, of good working relationships with agencies, and promotion of high quality science and science-based community services.
