About Climate
Aims
Climate (ISSN 2225-1154) is an independent, international and multi-disciplinary open access journal focusing on climate processes of the earth, covering all scales and involving modeling and observation methods. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
Subject Areas
The journal is dedicated to publish original research articles in the field of climatology with a focus on:
- interactions, e.g.:
- between trace gas-, water- and energy-cycles
- of land-atmosphere and ocean-atmosphere
- land cover changes
- eco-systems - impacts, e.g.:
- on human health, water resources, food production, sustainability and energy
- on short-term extreme events - policy and strategies, e.g.:
- of green growth
- of carbon markets - relation of climate change with:
- (natural) aerosols in the climate system
- disaster risk reduction
- disaster education - interseasonal, interannual to decadal climate variability
Special interests are on uncertainty and new and unconventional methods (e.g. satellite / remote sensing) for climate model evaluation and/or improvement. Additionally, publications concerning new statistical methods for analysis of climatology are encouraged.
