Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on atmospheric science, with a focus on weather phenomena and forecasting. Articles investigate tropical cyclones, including their track predictability, looping motion, and structural changes. The scope also encompasses the study of convective storms, such as derechos and thunderstorms, their interaction with terrain and atmospheric conditions, and precipitation processes. Additionally, research explores land-atmosphere interactions, boundary layer dynamics, and the development and evaluation of numerical weather prediction models and data assimilation techniques.
