Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics accepts original research papers for publication following the recommendations of a review panel. The emphasis lies with the following topic areas: - atmospheric dynamics and general circulation;- synoptic meteorology;- weather systems in specific regions, such as the tropics, the polar caps, the oceans;- atmospheric energetics;- numerical modeling and forecasting;- physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, including radiation, optical effects, electricity, and atmospheric turbulence and transport processes;- mathematical and statistical techniques applied to meteorological data setsMeteorology and Atmospheric Physics discusses physical and chemical processes - in both clear and cloudy atmospheres - including radiation, optical and electrical effects, precipitation and cloud microphysics.
