It included a Forecast Section, Climatological Section, Physics Section, and a Magnetic Section. In 1960, following a major reorganization of the Department, the Meteorological Branch became a part of Air Services and consisted of the following operational units: Forecast Division; Basic Weather Division; Instrument Division; Climatological Division; Research and Training Division; and Administrative Division. By 1970, the Meteorological Branch had become the Canadian Meteorological Service. It was headed by an Administrator and provided meteorological service and ice information to a broad spectrum of segments of the national economy and promoted the application and development of meteorological services. In 1971, the Canadian Meteorological Service was transferred to the newly-created Department of Environment and was renamed the Atmospheric Environment Service.
