Mission Statement
"To promote the ethical, scientifically rigorous, and prosperous practice of meteorology to serve the broad range of customers in the public and private sectors throughout the world."

We Invite You to Become a Member of the National Council of Industrial Meteorologists (NCIM)

Why We Want You


We are constantly seeking new members. Our organization is strengthened by each addition of a meteorologist from a diverse corner of the private sector. We want your ideas and opinions, we want your perspective, and we want your help in achieving our goals.

About Us

Our organization includes professional meteorologists with very large ranges of age and experience - from a few years out of school, to 45 years of service. Our primary common goals include the following:
Encourage broad use of applied meteorology in society
Improve professional standards for meteorological work
Educate industry and the public in proper use of meteorological information
Encourage the government to use sound meteorological science
Support prosperous entry of new meteorologists into the private sector
For a comprehensive list of NCIM's purposes, please see our vision statement on the NCIM web site at: http://www.ncim.org.

We were founded in 1968, and are the nation's oldest, continuously active professional association of private sector consulting and industrial meteorologists. We were initially formed to accommodate the diverse needs and interests within the weather consulting and information industry, and that philosophy continues.

NCIM has identified and responded to meteorological issues affecting the private practice of meteorology. Because our charter prohibits us from lobbying the Congress, the White House or other governmental entities, we have historically engaged in quiet advocacy on matters relating to the future of private sector meteorology. We also have longstanding cooperative relationships with the National Weather Service. Our overall philosophy and methods have proven effective in influencing policy and practice in government and industry.

NCIM has also built a reputation as an active supporter of students interested in a career path in the atmospheric sciences. We financially support the American Meteorological Society (AMS) industry scholarship program, and have organized educational short courses co-sponsored with the AMS.
