CIRA heavily participated in the Spring Quarterly Meeting of the American Meteorological Society Committee on Satellite Meteorology, Oceanography, and Climatology on 11 April 2025. The committee is chaired by J. Apke and includes G. Chirokova and S. Ortland as members. The meeting brings together volunteer leaders from academia, industry, and federal government partners to provide AMS with subject-matter expertise with a satellite remote sensing focus. The committee regularly is responsible for planning and execution of AMS satellite-based conferences including the Operational Environmental Satellite Systems, Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography, and Joint-Center for Satellite Data Assimilation meetings, as well as maintaining the AMS glossary, reviewing publications with a satellite focus from AMS, and planning and hosting satellite-focused community training events. Within this quarterly meeting, we planned around federal travel restrictions and how it will impact near-term conference plans, including the 27th Conference on Satellite Meteorology and Oceanography planned for Aug 2025 in San Diego, CA and the Conferences hosted at the AMS Annual Meeting in Jan 2026 in Houston, TX.
