Published bimonthly by the American Meteorological Society, Weather and Forecasting covers research on forecasting and analysis techniques, forecast verification studies, and case studies useful to forecasters. This includes submissions that report on changes to the suite of operational numerical models and statistical postprocessing techniques, demonstrate the transfer of research results to the forecasting community, or illustrate the societal use and values of forecasts. Contributions that focus on forecasting and analysis techniques from the very short range out to seasonal time scales are welcome.

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

Weather and Forecasting prints four 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).
  
  
• Notes and Correspondence - Shorter articles, usually confined to a single subject. These are treated exactly the same as articles in the method of review and citation.
  
  
  • 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.
  
  
• NCEP Notes - Report on changes to the suite of operational numerical models and postprocessing techniques.
  
  
• Forecaster's Forum - Available for readers who wish to express opinions about forecasting problems and experiences that are of general interest to forecasters.
