Meteorological Applications Published for the Royal Meteorological Society |
Meteorological Applications deals in an authoritative and accessible way with the wide range of topics associated with the applications of meteorology. These include applications of meteorological information (including climatological and forecast data) and their socio-economic benefits; science and information technology needed to support those applications; weather hazards, their analysis and prediction; performance, verification and value of numerical models and forecasting aids; practical applications of ocean and climate models; training techniques and the development and use of computer-aided learning (CAL). As well as research papers, the journal provides a source of news about developments in the applications of meteorology throughout the world.

Instructions to Authors
The journal publishes original papers, reviews and news about applications of meteorology around the world. The material may deal with the scientific, technical, commercial and administrative aspects of the applications from the point of view of the provider or user. The main requirement of the material is that it is well-written, interesting and of use to applied meteorologists, forecasters and users of meteorological services.
Submission
All papers should be sent to: Dr John E. Thornes, School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, University of Birmingham, Birmingham B15 2TT, U.K; e-mail j.e.thornes@bham.ac.uk.
Three copies of the paper are required, and receipt of these will be acknowledged. Authors are advised to retain a copy of their paper as the Editor cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage in transit.
Accompanying the paper should be a clear statement of the name, address, telephone and fax number together with (if possible) an e-mail address of the corresponding author.
Papers are accepted for publication on the understanding that: the paper has not been published before (except as an abstract) the paper is not under consideration for publication elsewhere publication has been approved by all the authors and any other relevant authorities or institutions the authors have been granted permission to reproduce any copyright material if the paper is accepted for publication, exclusive copyright is assigned to the Royal Meteorological Society Authors are invited to suggest two referees, though it is the Editor that will make the final choice.
There are no page charges.
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed double spaced with a wide margin on one side of the paper, with all pages numbered. Papers should be in English and spelling should conform to the Concise Oxford Dictionary of Current English. The paper should be lucid, unambiguous and concise. Unnecessary tables and figures should be avoided.
The title page of the paper should contain the following: concise but informative title short running title for page headings initial(s) and name(s) of the author(s) full institutional addresses for all authors, and e-mail addresses where available.
The abstract should be up to 200 words in length and summarise the main results and conclusions from the paper. It should be concise, informative and intelligible to the general reader without reference to the main text. References should not be included. The main body of the text should normally be arranged with no more than two levels of headings. A decimal numbering system should be used. Footnotes should not be used.
SI units, or units approved by the World Meteorological Organisation, should be used. Unfamiliar abbreviations should be defined when first used.
Mathematics should be carefully written, leaving a wide space above and below each character. Care should be taken to define all the symbols used.
When a manuscript has been provisionally accepted subject to revision, authors will be asked to return one original and one copy of the revised manuscript, tables and figures and, wherever possible, a 3.5¨ disk clearly labelled with the author's name, short title, word processing package used and file name.
Tables and figures
Tables and figures should be prepared to fit within either a single column (82 mm) or a double column (168 mm). Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals. There should be a caption with each table or figure which explains their meaning without reference to the text. The two sets of captions should be typed on separate sheets of paper. In the text there must be reference to the tables and figures.
Tables must be typed on separate sheets. Column headings should be brief with the units given either in the heading or the caption. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns.
Artwork which has been drawn and is not available electronically should be black and white and of good contrast or in the case of colour artwork should be a good quality printout preferably a bromide. The colour on the printout will be matched for printing. Fine tints should be removed as they reproduce badly.
Illustrations should be drawn about one third larger than appearing size with lettering size adjusted accordingly. As much information as possible should be removed from the figure to the caption so that the figure is not cluttered. The real artwork should not be sent until the paper has been accepted for publication—xeroxes can be enclosed for the refereeing process. The author surname and figure number should be written on the back of the illustrations.
Artwork figures originated electronically should also be supplied as hardcopies with the hardcopy of the paper and the printouts should be identified with the author surname and figure number. The electronic files should be sent on CD or emailed in eps or tif format to: j.e.thornes@bham.ac.uk AND lchatterton@cambridge.org . Please make it clear which paper the illustrations are for.
The quality of the original scanning will influence the output. The artwork should be scanned at approximately 300dpi where possible. Filenames for artwork should follow the convention MAPsmith1.eps where the number is the figure number.
