Scope

The Journal of Hydrometeorology (JHM) (ISSN: 1525-755X; eISSN: 1525-7541) publishes research on modeling, observing, and forecasting processes related to fluxes and storage of water and energy, including interactions with the boundary layer and lower atmosphere, and processes related to precipitation, radiation, and other meteorological inputs.

2025 Impact Factor: 3.31

Submission Types

  • Articles: Up to 7500 words, including the body text, acknowledgments, and appendixes. The word limit does not include the title page, abstract, references, captions, tables, and figures. If a submission exceeds the word limit, the author must provide a justification for the length of the manuscript and request the Chief Editor’s approval of the overage. This request may be uploaded in a document with the "Cover Letter" item type or entered in the comment field in the submission system.
  • Reviews: Synthesis of previously published literature that may address successes, failures, and limitations. Requires Review Proposal. For more information, see Review Articles.
  • Comment and Reply Exchange: Comments are written in response to a published article and should be submitted within 2 years of the publication date of the original article (although the editor can waive this limit in extenuating circumstances). The author of the original article has the opportunity to write a Reply. These exchanges are published together. 
  • Corrigenda: The corrigendum article type is available for authors to address errors discovered in already published articles. For more information, see Corrigenda.

  • Data Technical Articles: Data Technical Articles present novel or significantly enhanced datasets that capture key hydrometeorological processes and that have been made freely available to the public. The dataset is expected to be of broad scientific interest and to be freely available to the public. The datasets may result from field experiments, laboratory measurements, numerical models, or remote sensing observations. Articles should provide relevant background, methods, data accessibility and information helpful for interpreting and using the data, usage examples, and discuss validation, uncertainty, and issues that may affect interpretation of the data. Up to 7500 words, including the body text, acknowledgments, and appendixes.
