Aims & Scope

Meteorologische Zeitschrift (Contributions to Atmospheric Sciences) accepts high-quality, English language, double peer-reviewed manuscripts on all aspects of observational, theoretical and computational research on the entire field of meteorology, atmospheric physics and atmospheric chemistry including climatology. Manuscripts from applied sectors such as, e.g., Environmental Meteorology or Energy Meteorology are particularly welcome. Meteorologische Zeitschrift (Contributions to Atmospheric Sciences) represents a natural forum for the meteorological community of Central Europe and worldwide. Contributions to Atmospheric Sciences (Meteorologische Zeitschrift) is a Full Open Access Journal open to original manuscripts in the English language from all fields of atmospheric sciences, covering meteorology and climatology, including the interaction of the lower atmosphere with the oceans, the land surfaces, and the middle and upper atmosphere. Short contributions and review articles are particularly invited. Six issues are published per annum and form one volume. Articles published in this journal are expected to make interesting and novel contributions from all topics of meteorology, including theoretical and experimental investigations, numerical simulations, statistical studies, information about operational work in meteorological services and on applied meteorology (including environmental meteorology, biometeorology, and energy meteorology). Contributions on the philosophy and history of atmospheric sciences are also welcome. In addition to original papers and short communications, review articles, special reports, laudatory articles, and obituaries are published. Special issues on specific topics or conferences may be published as feasible. Papers must not have been published previously. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their papers.
