The Norwegian Meteorological Society (”Norsk Meteorologiforening” or NMF) was founded in 1962 as a trade union society after a break-out from the trade union of Meteorological Civil Servants (”Meteorologisk Tjenestemannslag”). From 2000 on, NMF is a member of the Norwegian Association of Researchers (”Forskerforbundet”). As such, NMF continued as a small labour political society within the Norwegian Association of Researchers. NMF is open for all members of the Norwegian Association of Researchers who have an association with meteorology.

• Organisation of the Nordic Meteorologists’ Meeting in Bergen in 2004. The Nordic Meteorologists’ Meeting celebrated its fifty-year anniversary in Helsinki in 2010.
