― History and Objectives

The Meteorological Society of Japan (MSJ), Chinese Meteorological Society (CMS), and Korean
Meteorological Society (KMS) have been organizing a joint conference on meteorology since 2005.
The purpose of the joint conference is to enhance the development of atmospheric science, promote
international academic exchange, organize regional activities in the field of meteorology and create an academic exchange platform for meteorological societies of China, Korea and Japan. It is also intended
to enhance the friendship among the meteorologists of the three countries.

After the sixth conference held in China in 2013, the three societies agreed on continuing the activity
titled the Asian Conference on Meteorology (ACM), which could involve researchers outside of the
three countries. The first ACM was held in Kyoto, Japan in October 2015, followed by the second
conference in Busan, Korea in October 2017, and the third virtual conference organized by China in
November 2022. Here we would like to inform you that the fourth ACM will be held from November 18
to 19, 2024 in Tsukuba, Japan.

The coming conference will be jointly organized by the A3 Foresight Program “Networking Climate
Change Research Hubs for Promoting Future Earth Over Northeast Asia”, which was launched in
August 2022. The A3 Foresight Program is supported by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science
(JSPS), National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF), and National Natural Science Foundation of
China (NSFC) with the aim of advancing leading-edge research on climate change relevant to the scope
of Future Earth, and establishing a regional research hub in Asia. This conference also serves as the
third workshop of the A3 Foresight Program.

The coming conference focuses on the scientific subjects on atmospheric and climate science
including the focus of A3 Foresight. The organizing committee would like to have as many participants
as possible from the three meteorological societies and the A3 Foresight members, and hope
especially many early career scientists to attend the conference. The Call for the Abstract submission
will start in April, 2024, followed by the Registration process via the conference web site.
