Usage

Use it in an article document class like this:

 \usepackage{ametsoc}

The AMS wants all manuscripts sent to them to be double spaced. So, do this for the paper you are going to send:

 \usepackage[final]{ametsoc}

The final option also puts figures and tables at the end and provides a separate page of figure and table captions.

A second option allows for AMS-type conference papers:

 \usepackage[conf]{ametsoc}

In this case, remember that the article class should be:

 \documentclass[twocolumn]{article}

In any case, the bibliography style is the same:

\bibliographystyle{ametsoc}
\bibliography{../mybib} %common bib for all papers.
