JOURNAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES

(ISSN 0022-4928), Vol. 68, 2011

Published monthly by the American Meteorological Society, the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences covers basic research related to the physics, dynamics, and chemistry of the atmosphere of the Earth and other planets, with emphasis on the quantitative and deductive aspects of the subject.

The links provide detailed information for readers, authors, reviewers, and those who wish to submit a manuscript for consideration.

The Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences prints three types of pieces. These are

• Articles - Full-length, up to 7500 words or 26 double-spaced pages of text (not including references, figure and table lists, and figures).
  
  
• Expedited Contributions - Shorter articles with an expedited peer-review and publication cycle, limited to 2,500 words or 9 double-spaced pages of text (not including references, figure and table lists, and figures) and no more than 6 figures and tables. Expedited contributions undergo one round of reviews within 2 weeks of receipt by the Editorial office, and authors will have a deadline of 4 weeks to complete revisions. Expedited Contributions should be published 10 to 12 weeks after final acceptance. If the manuscript grows beyond the length or figure criteria specified above during the review and revision, or if it requires a second round of reviews, the contribution will move out of the expedited contributions category and will be considered as a regular article.
  
  
• Comments and Reply Exchanges - Comments are written in response to a published article. The author of the article being commented upon always has the opportunity to write a reply. These exchanges are published together.
