International Atmospheric Optical Society

The International Atmospheric Optical Society (IAOS) is a professional organization dedicated to studying how light interacts with Earth's atmosphere. This includes phenomena like sunsets, rainbow formation, mirages, and optical effects caused by weather and atmospheric particles. The society connects scientists and researchers worldwide to share knowledge, advance understanding, and improve technologies related to atmospheric optics. Their work helps us better understand weather patterns, climate issues, and visual phenomena, contributing to science, environmental monitoring, and optical applications. IAOS promotes collaboration, education, and research in the field of atmospheric optical sciences.
