Atmospheric Research
Clouds - Precipitation - Aerosols - Radiation - Climatology, Weather ModificationThe journal publishes scientific papers (research papers, review articles, letters and notes) dealing with the part of the atmosphere where meteorological events occur. Attention is given to all processes extending from the earth surface to the tropopause, but special emphasis continues to be devoted to the physics of clouds, mesoscale meteorology and air pollution, i.e. atmospheric aerosols; microphysical processes; cloud dynamics and thermodynamics; numerical simulation, climatology, climate change and weather modification.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action).- ISSN: 0169-8095
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology is an international journal dedicated to advancing the science of land-atmosphere interactions across agriculture, forests and other terrestrial systems (e.g. wetlands, tundra, urban environments). Manuscripts considered by Agricultural and Forest Meteorology for publication must include both of the following:Strong atmospheric components such as meteorological, micrometeorological, or climate-related processesDemonstrate how these atmospheric processes interact with the terrestrial surfaceThe journal’s scope includes research that applies micrometeorological theory, develops and evaluates novel instrumentation (e.g., sensors for trace gas measurements, flux measurement systems, radiation instrumentation), advances remote- and proximal-sensing approaches (e.g. satellite observations, UAV-based sensors), or employs models that represent land-atmosphere interactions (e.g. soil-vegetation-atmo... transfer models, data-fusion frameworks and physically guided machine learning models). These tools and approaches are applied to address research questions in the following areas:Energy, momentum, mass and trace gas exchange between ecosystems and the atmosphere, including their role in biogeochemical cycles (e.g. carbon, nitrogen) and water cycles (e.g. evapotranspiration)E... phenology and physiology Radiative transfer, water interception, turbulence and microclimate in vegetation canopiesAerobiology (e.g. the dispersion of pollen, spores, microorganisms, insects and pesticides)Impacts of climate variability and climate change on land-atmosphere interactions Impact of land use, land use change, and disturbances such as fire on land-atmosphere interactions Regional and global land-atmosphere feedbacksThe following submissions are discouraged:Studies that do not focus on the inter-relationship of concepts in meteorology and ecosystemsStudies reporting on climate trends without consideration of the impacts of such trends on ecosystemsDendrochro... and climate reconstruction studies that do not relate to land-atmosphere interactionsRemote sensing studies that report solely on methodology or on vegetation trends such as greeningSoil or plant focused studies that merely report weather or climate variables without investigating land-atmosphere interactionsSoil microbial ecology studiesStudies of the effects of management practices (e.g. mulching), soil processes or soil properties on respiration or greenhouse gas fluxes, without a strong atmospheric componentStudies of plant physiology, chemistry or genetics, without a strong atmospheric componentHydrologica... studies that are not primarily concerned with water vapour transfer to or from the atmosphereStudies of potential evaporation that do not also consider actual evaporationStudies conducted exclusively in controlled environments (e.g. growth chambers, incubators, wind tunnels, greenhouses)Design, technology and operation of greenhouses or other plant-growing facilitiesStudies based on data products or theoretical modelling studies that do not test model predictions against experimental data except for very novel models that target processes for which measurements are not yet possibleMachine-lear... studies that are limited in their results to a specific geographic region, without novel methodology or novel physical understandingNote that solely considering climate variables such as air temperature, precipitation etc., does not constitute the study of land-atmosphere interactions and as such are discouraged.All submissions will only be considered for publication if they clearly advance knowledge on land-atmosphere interactions or propose novel methods to study these interactions.- ISSN: 0168-1923
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography publishes topical issues from the many international and interdisciplinary projects which are undertaken in oceanography. Besides these special issues from projects, the journal publishes collections of papers presented at conferences. The special issues regularly have electronic annexes of non-text material (numerical data, images, images, video, etc.) which are published with the special issues in ScienceDirect. Deep-Sea Research Part II was split off as a separate journal devoted to topical issues in 1993. Its companion journal Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, publishes the regular research papers in this area.AUTHORS PLEASE NOTE: the Editors cannot accept submissions that are not linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers. For information on how to submit a publication proposal for a special/thematic issue, you are cordially invited to contact the Chief Editors, Kenneth Drinkwater or Javier Aristegui.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission. If you require any further information or help, please visit our Support Center- ISSN: 0967-0645
Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers
The journal is concerned with fundamental oceanography of the deep sea in the broadest sense. This includes, ocean physics including circulation, waves, turbulence, thermodynamics, optics, acoustics, mixing, or other process studies, atmosphere ocean coupling, primary production, organic carbon fluxes, chemistry, palaeoceanography, geophysics, sedimentology, all aspects of biology from microbes to marine mammals, physiology, ecology, biogeography, evolution, behaviour and anthropological impacts.The deep sea is interpreted to be the ocean beyond the continental shelf. Papers dealing exclusively with areas inshore of the shelf break are in general more appropriate to our companion journal Continental Shelf Research.Instruments and Methods papers can describe novel hardware, vehicles, research vessels, instrumentation, sensors (physical, chemical or biological), survey methods, analysis and calibration methods as well as software and novel data-analysis techniques but with the caveat of evidence of successful use in oceanography. We do not accept applied science/technology papers on deep-sea mining, drilling, bio-prospecting or management of fish stocks in which the aim is not oceanographic research. In biological papers, we welcome descriptions of new species but these should be in the context of advancing knowledge of ecology, evolution and biogeography in the deep sea; purely taxonomic papers should be submitted to a specialist journal.Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, considers four types of paper: Research Papers: These should report results of original scientific research, including theoretical work of evident oceanographic applicability. To encourage full reporting of complex studies there is no formal length limit on research papers but editors and reviewers will discourage excessive verbosity and repetition.Instrumen... and Methods: These should report novel solutions of instrumental or methodological problems with evidence of successful use. There is no length limit.Short Communication: These can be reports of novel research or instruments and methods and should not contain more than 4,000 words and no more than 3 figures and 1 table.Reviews: The journal welcomes suggestions for reviews synthesising knowledge of any aspect of the deep sea. These reviews should be approximately 12,000 words in length and suggestions should be discussed with the Editors-in-Chief.Spe... Collections of papers: Proposals for special topic issues should be directed to our sister journal: Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography. However, this journal can publish collections of up to 5 papers that address a special topic that are insufficient to fill a whole journal volume. Proposals for special collections should be discussed with an Editor-in-Chief. The proponent of a special collection may be appointed as a Special Section Guest Editor. Papers can be submitted in any order and at any time and will be handled in the normal way by the guest editor or established editors. Each paper will be published on-line as soon as it is accepted. When the final paper in the collection is accepted then the entire collection will be assigned to a volume and authors may suggest a cover image. Papers in a collection should be numbered consecutively with a short main title and more extensive subtitle. E.g. Ocean carbon fluxes 1: xxxxxxx, Ocean fluxes 2: yyyyyyyyyy. Each paper in the collection should be a self-standing and can be a Research Paper, Instruments and methods paper, Short Communication or Review. Guest editors may add an editorial introducing the section.For all papers, supplemental matter, such as extensive data tables or graphs and multimedia content, may be published as electronic appendices. Deposition of data, gene sequences and type specimens:This journal encourages sharing of data (see section on research data below) and recommends that data be placed in appropriate repositories or included in the supplemental matter submitted with the paper. New gene sequences should be deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database. Type specimens should be deposited in the appropriate national or international public museum or collection. Accession numbers of gene sequences and type specimens must be included in the final version of the manuscript and cannot be added at the proof stage.- ISSN: 0967-0637
