ACM - Association of Certified Meteorologists

Who are Certified Consulting Meteorologists (CCM) and why you should use a CCM:

Consulting Members of ACM are American Meteorological Society's Board-Certified Consulting Meteorologists. These meteorologists demonstrate a broad background in meteorology together with a detailed knowledge in a field of specialization. CCMs demonstrate exemplary qualities of character and devotion to high professional standards.

CCMs are considered experts in the application of weather information to a host of practical challenges ranging from specialized forecasts to engineering design support and expert testimony on weather-related court cases.

By using a CCM, you select consultants or employees with greater confidence in the quality and reliability of the products or services they deliver.

The American Meteorological Society has established high standards of technical competence, character, and experience for those who seek to provide advice and consultation in meteorology. CCMs must demonstrate exemplary qualities of character and devotion to high professional standards and are highly regarded by their peers in meteorology.

ACM AI Position Statement

Artificial intelligence (AI), including Machine Learning (ML), are common tools in scientific research and modelling, including in the profession of meteorology. While AI and ML may have incredible benefits to some facets of science – particularly meteorology – a hard line must be drawn in the framework of meteorology consulting and expert witness opinions to support the integrity of human meteorological expertise. In courts of law, presented meteorological information and opinions should conform to standards set forth regarding rules of evidence provided by expert witnesses. Read ACM AI Position Statement
