Articles and regular features are written for a wide range of readers, from professional meteorologists to amateur weather observers. While technical language and mathematical content are kept to a minimum, Weather also seeks to inform and to give readers an opportunity to update their subject knowledge. Weather is also the 'house journal' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society news and includes meeting and conference reports, a Readers' Forum series and occasional Viewpoint articles. Photographs of weather events are an important feature of the journal and the Weather Image feature provides an opportunity to analyse a satellite image or photograph. Weather Log is a summary of the weather of each month by means of meteorological data and weather maps. Coverage includes: Case studies of interesting and important weather events, both topical and historical Weather observation - including the use and interpretation of satellite and radar imagery Climatic change Weather and climate as environmental hazards Developments in weather forecasting Recent advances in meteorology, climatology and oceanography History of meteorology and climatology Weather also includes regular series of articles. Examples include: Historic and notable weather stations Interpretation of weather maps and weather information on the web (forthcoming in 2007) Pen portraits of historic figures in meteorology Readership Professional meteorologists, climatologists, amateur weather observers Keywords Weather, Climatology, Weather observers, Climate Science, Climate Change, Meteorological services and equipment, Weather hazards, Weather and climate, Weather stations, Weather data, Weather forecasting, Extreme weather, British Isles Weather, Monthly weather data, Meteorology, Hurricanes, Typhoons, Flood, Drought, Heatwave, Storm, Snow, Blizzard, Ice, Frost, Lightening, Thunder storm, Fog, Cyclone, Tropical storm, Seasonal forecasts, Global warming, Rain, Weather statistics, Sea breezes, Cloud, Numerical weather prediction, Atmospheric science, Atmospheric sciences, Synoptic, Atmospheric, Journal, Online journal, Wiley InterScience Abstracting and Indexing Information ASFA: Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts () Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA/CIG) CSA Environmental Sciences & Pollution Management Database (CSA/CIG) Current Contents®/Physical, Chemical & Earth Sciences (Thomson ISI) Current Index to Statistics (ASA/IMS) GEOBASE/Geographical & Geological Abstracts (Elsevier) Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition (Thomson ISI) Meteorological & Geoastrophysical Abstracts (CSA/CIG) Science Citation Index Expandedâ„?(Thomson ISI) Instructions to Authors Publication policy Papers submitted for publication in Weather may be on any aspect of the weather, meteorology, climatology or related sciences. However, material of a technical nature is more suitably submitted to one of the Society’s other journals and the Editor reserves the right to offer such material to the appropriate journal instead of considering it for publication in Weather . In submitting articles authors must take into account the wide readership of Weather â€?while contributions covering a wide variety of topics are welcome, authors should ensure that the terminology and technical content of ­articles can be understood by non-meteorologists. Responsibility for the accuracy of material submitted rests with the author.  Any potential conflict in interest must be declared upon first submission. Announcing an online submission system for Weather To facilitate even faster peer-review times Weather has launched an online submission system that allows authors to upload their files through the website. In addition the system will allow authors to check the status of their paper throughout the peer review process. New users will need to create an account within the system, a three-step process that takes a matter of minutes to complete. Log-in information is sent via email immediately upon completion. Manuscript submission takes place in just seven screens and is a simple, intuitive process. Visit the following URL to start your submission: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/weather . If you are submitting a research article, you will be asked to write a short Abstract and Key Words; these will assist electronic searching and may increase the readership of your article. However, neither will appear in print in the journal. General submission instructions Submitted manuscripts should not have been previously published and should not be submitted for publication elsewhere while they are under consideration by the Journal. Preparation of Text and Illustrations The Editor reserves the right to return submissions that do not meet the requirements set out below. The style of text and figures used in previous issues of Weather should be followed  - sub-headings should be used as appropriate. Brief text boxes can be included. Abstracts An abstract is a concise summary of the whole paper, not just the conclusions, and is understandable without reference to the rest of the paper. It should contain no citation to other published work. Although abstracts do not appear in the printed journal, they are important for two reasons: (i) when a reviewer has to decide whether to accept the invitation to review, he or she needs to have some idea of the contents of the paper and (ii) the online version needs an abstract so that researchers can decide whether to pay to download. Therefore, ALL material (except letters) submitted to Weather via ScholarOne Manuscripts should include an abstract. The length should be tailored to the content - for example, a 50-100 word paragraph for Research Articles, just a line or two for Viewpoints. Where abstracts are not included, articles will be returned to authors before they enter the Review process. Main text Brevity and lucidity are encouraged. Articles of various lengths are welcomed but main articles should usually be no more than 3000â€?000 words, plus figures and references. Meeting reports should be no more than 900-1800 words. Spelling should conform to that recommended by the Concise Oxford Dictionary . Acronyms and symbols should be defined. Typescripts must be thoroughly checked, and authors who are not fluent in English should seek advice, if possible, from native English speakers. Detailed mathematics should generally be avoided, but essential mathematics or technical material may be placed in a text box if appropriate. References to equations should be of the form ‘Equation (5)â€?at the beginning of a sentence and ‘Eq. (5)â€?or â€?5)â€?elsewhere. The International System of Units (si) should be used, but some common-usage alternatives may also be specified. These include ‘knotsâ€?(kn) for wind speed, and ‘millibarsâ€?(mbar) for atmospheric pressure. Inverse units should use the exponentiated form, e.g. ms â€? not m/s. Dates should be given as 6 March 1996 and times as 0900gmt, 0900utc or 0900h (for local time, which should be clearly related to gmt). Tables should be numbered with arabic numerals and provided with short headings; comments should be given as footnotes. Vertical rulings should not be used unless absolutely necessary. Figures must be of draughtsman standard, should avoid extraneous detail and be of a size to fit on to a page of Weather at 1-column width, half-page width, 2-column or (occasionally) full-page width (please refer to any issue from January 2004 onwards for examples). Colour figures are encouraged, especially where their use improves clarity; multiple lines on graphs should be distinguished by use of contrasting colours; these should normally be dark enough to be clearly seen on a white background. If figures are submitted electronically a resolution of 600dpi is required for final copy. Figures should be numbered serially with references to them in the text being of the form ‘Figure 2â€?at the beginning of a sentence and ‘Fig. 2â€?elsewhere. Captions should be supplied separately from diagrams. The inclusion of photographs is encouraged. Colour photographs are welcomed, but good black and white images may also be reproduced. Submissions can be as slides, photographs or high-resolution graphics images, the latter at a minimum resolution of 1800×1200 ­pixels (300dpi (120pixels/cm)). All material is sent at the owner’s risk and neither the Royal Meteorological Society nor its agents can accept any liability for loss or damage. File types. We ask that you submit MS Word or RTF (Rich Text Format) for your main document. Your figures should be in TIFF (Tagged Image Format), or EPS (Encapsulated PostScript). For the purposes of review the files you upload will be automatically converted by the system into an HTML format and PDF. The PDF will be a single concatenated file generated from the separate files you upload. Other file types may be uploaded but may not convert properly to PDF. Please check the PDF carefully before finally submitting. Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as a .doc file type. If you try to upload a Word 2007 document in Manuscript Central you will be prompted to save .docx files as .doc files.  Figures should be supplied (uploaded) as TIFF files in RGB or greyscale mode with no profile embedded and no layers. All illustrations must be supplied at the correct resolution: Black-and-white and colour photos â€?300 dpi Graphs, drawings, etc â€?800 dpi preferred; 600 dpi minimum Combinations of photos and drawings (black and white and colour) â€?500 dpi Authors should be careful to check that their colour images will reproduce faithfully in CMYK print before submission. Reference style. Citations in the text should be of the form ‘Shaw (1995)â€? â€?Shaw, 1995)â€? or if more than two authors ‘Shaw et al. (1995)â€? `(Shaw et al., 1995)`. A full alphabetical reference list must be included at the end of the paper â€?there should be no papers within this list that are not quoted in the text. References to websites are acceptable, but it should be remembered that websites can be originated by anyone and may not be accurate  â€?authors must take responsibility for the authority of the items that they cite. References to websites should be included in the normal reference list. References should not be used to excess. References should be presented as shown below:      Folland CK, Parker DE. 1995.
