Extreme weather events, changing patterns of precipitation, stronger and more frequent tornados and hurricanes/typhoons, global warming due to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, and many other phenomena provide fertile ground for entrepreneurial activities and the generation of startups in the arena of atmospheric and meteorological science. However, there are very few atmospheric scientists becoming entrepreneurs and creating novel new products and services that both benefit society and help drive the economy forward. To identify the reason for this paucity of participation in innovation ecosystems, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) will hold a series of virtual events to survey its broad membership. The conversations will illuminate the factors that prevent them from initiating commercial ventures and becoming entrepreneurs. Broader Impacts of the work include uncovering the incentives, training, opportunities, and educational vehicles most likely to create a cadre of atmospheric science and meteorological entrepreneurs and startup founders, including robust representation from early career scientists and member of underrepresented groups. The AMS will made public the report of their findings by posting it on the AMS website.To solicit ideas on developing entrepreneurial talent and speed the pace of innovation in the atmospheric sciences, the 12,000+ member strong American Meteorological Society, the largest professional society of weather and climate scientists in the US, will run a series of broad, inclusive, and results-driven virtual activities. These are focused on engaging all segments of the atmospheric and space science and meteorological communities, with a specific focus on those who are early career and from groups traditionally underrepresented in science. Information will be obtained via online surveys, virtual convenings of members, crowdsourcing events, one-on-one conversations, and panels of experts. The goal is to collect and synthesize ideas from AMS constituents on what incentives, training, or gap filling needs to take place to increase and accelerate more involvement of atmospheric scientists in the entrepreneurial process, as well as increase the number of atmospheric and meteorologically relevant enterprises led by founders and CEOs coming from these fields.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

极端天气事件，降水的变化，更强大，更频繁的龙卷风和飓风/次季季，由于大气中的温室气体增加而引起的全球变暖，许多其他现象为企业家活动提供了肥沃的地面，以及在大气和气象学科学领域的创业生成。但是，很少有大气科学家成为企业家，并创造新的新产品和服务，从而使社会受益并有助于推动经济发展。为了确定缺乏参与创新生态系统的原因，美国气象学会（AMS）将举办一系列虚拟事件，以调查其广泛的成员资格。对话将阐明阻止他们启动商业企业并成为企业家的因素。这项工作的更广泛的影响包括揭示最有可能创建大气科学和气象企业家和初创创始人干部的激励措施，培训，机会和教育工具，包括早期职业科学家的强大代表以及代表性不足的群体的成员。 AMS将通过将其发布在AMS网站上，将其发布到AMS网站上。要征求有关发展企业家才能的想法，并加快了大气科学的创新速度，12,000多个以上的成员强大的美国气象学会，美国最大的天气和气候科学家专业社会，将在美国，将开展一系列广泛的，包括广泛的，包括广泛的，包括广泛的美德活动。这些重点是吸引大气，太空科学和气象社区的所有细分市场，特别关注那些是早期职业的人，以及传统上在科学领域的人数不足的团体。信息将通过在线调查，会员的虚拟召集，众包活动，一对一的对话以及专家小组获得信息。目的是从AMS组成部分收集和综合思想，以了解需要采取哪些激励，培训或差距填充需要增加和加速大气科学家参与企业家过程中的参与，并增加了大气和气象学的企业的数量，并增加了由这些领域的主导和CEOS授予的奖励。利用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准。
