Annual invited review lecture by an expert in an aspect of meteorology or other related subjects
Reginald Harry (“Reg”) Clarke (1914-1990) had a long and distinguished career in meteorology at the Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO, and the University of Melbourne. He was Chairman of the Australian Branch of the Royal Meteorological Society (the predecessor of AMOS) during 1976-80. In Reg’s memory, AMOS each year invites a distinguished speaker to present a review lecture on a topic in meteorology or an associated field, at the Annual AMOS Conference.
