Introduction:
Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, established in 1984, is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal co-published by Springer Science+Business Media and Science Press. It is sponsored by the Chinese Committee for the International Association of Meteorology and Atmospheric Sciences (IAMAS), the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Chinese Meteorological Society. The journal is dedicated to the rapid dissemination of high-quality, original scientific papers focusing on the dynamics, physics, and chemistry of the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, with additional coverage of the atmospheres of other planets and earth system dynamics involving atmospheric and oceanic interactions with the biosphere, cryosphere, and anthroposphere.
The journal’s scope is broad, encompassing a wide range of topics such as weather systems, numerical weather prediction, climate dynamics and variability, satellite meteorology, remote sensing, air chemistry, boundary layer processes, clouds, precipitation, and weather modification. It also encourages studies that explore universal and generalized principles derived from specific phenomena, as well as papers applying new mathematical approaches or innovative instrumentation. Key research areas include atmospheric and oceanic theories, modeling, observations, and the interactions between atmospheric and oceanic systems with other earth system components. The journal has published influential works, such as studies on upper ocean temperatures, the East Asian monsoon, and tropical cyclone databases, which have garnered significant citations.
Advances in Atmospheric Sciences is recognized for its rigorous peer-review process, ensuring that published research is both novel and impactful. It maintains a high scientific standard, with an impact factor of 3.9 in 2023 and an h-index of 87, reflecting its influence in the field. The journal is ranked in the top quartile (Q1) of atmospheric science journals, with an SJR of 1.54, indicating its prestige and citation impact. It is indexed in major databases such as Scopus, SCIE, and UGC CARE, and is published by Science China Press under the ISSN 0256-1530 and 1861-9533.
The journal supports rapid publication to ensure timely dissemination of cutting-edge research, making it a vital resource for scholars, practitioners, and scientists in atmospheric and oceanic sciences. Its editorial team, led by editors-in-chief Mu Mu, Junji Cao, and Ming Xue, fosters international collaboration, with contributions from leading institutions like the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nanjing University. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts through the journal’s online portal, adhering to guidelines that emphasize clarity, reproducibility, and open science practices, such as data sharing. The journal also promotes research that supports global challenges, including climate change and sustainable development, aligning with broader scientific and societal goals.
