How to Join
Who can join?
Anyone who is interested or involved in meteorology or associated sciences. Our worldwide membership is made up of professionals and academics, students and teachers, enthusiasts and observers, and there is a category to suit everyone.
Associate Fellow
No formal qualifications are needed and anyone can join without sponsorship. There is a 50% reduction in annual fees for full time students, and no lower age limit for Associate Fellows.
Fellow
Normally a formal qualification (e.g. a first degree in a science subject
and/or postgraduate degree or an NVQ in meteorology or a closely related
discipline) and at least five years of professional experience within or
directly related to the profession of meteorology or one closely related
to it is required. Exceptionally, long experience and performance at a
high professional level, suitably attested by peer review, can replace
the requirement for a formal academic or vocational qualification. MSc
or PhD study in a relevant subject counts as one or two years experience
respectively.
