The Fellow of AMOS is an annual honour recognising AMOS members who have made major contributions to meteorology, oceanography or related disciplines over a number of years. Fellows are appointed following a multi-stage election process involving the AMOS Awards Committee and existing AMOS Fellows. A maximum of three Fellows are elected each year. Nominees must meet professional qualification and experience requirements and be proposed and seconded by AMOS members.
