Advances in Atmospheric Sciences雜志要求

一、Manuscript components

Each manuscript should include the following components, presented in the order shown.

1) Title, name, affiliation of each author and corresponding author's email provided on the title page.

2) Abstract. A brief, concise abstract is required at the beginning of each manuscript. The abstract contains a brief account of the background and rationale of the work, followed by a statement of the main conclusions. The abstract is typically 250 words or less in length and is unreferenced. The abstract should be 250 words or less in length. The abstract should not contain any mathematical expressions if possible, should include no footnotes or citations, and should not contain first-person sentence structure.

3) Key words. 4－6 key words should be provided.

4) Text. The text (12-point) should be typesetted in one column, divided into sections, each with a separate heading and numbered consecutively using following format

1. Primary heading

1.1 Secondary heading

1.1.1 Tertiary heading

1.1.1.1 Quaternary heading

5) Acknowledgements. Keep this section as brief as possible by acknowledging only direct assistance in your research and writing. Financial support for the work done should be acknowledged here rather than as footnotes to the title.

6) References. References should be arranged alphabetically without numbering. Citations to standard references in text should consist of the name of the author and the year of publication—for example, Wang (1990) or (Wang, 1990). If there are three or more authors, state the first author’s surname, followed by "et al." and the year of publication—for example, Wang et al. (1990) or (Wang et al., 1990). When there are two or more papers by the same author or authors in the same year, distinguishing letters (a, b, c, etc.) should be added to the year in both the citation in text and the reference listing, for example, Wang (1990a). For multiple citations by one author, separate years by commas, for example, Wang (1989, 1990) or (Wang, 1989, 1990). Separate multiple citations by different authors within the same parentheses by semicolons, for example, (Wang, 1990; Li, 1991) or (Wang, 1989, 1990; Li, 1991).

7) Figure captions. Each figure must be supplied with a self-explanatory caption and all captions should be listed together. Authors should also include captions below the figures for the reviewer copies.

8) Illustrations and tables. Each figure and table should be numbered consecutively and cited specifically in the text by number. All tables should have a title or legend.

二、Formulas

Brief equations or terms set inline in text must be set as a single line expression, if possible. Also please enter them directly from the keyboard if possible. For more complex variables that have both subscripts and superscripts, or have a more complicated operator such as a radical sign, use of the MathType equation editor is recommended.

三、References

References should be given alphabetically without numbering at the end of the paper. References must be complete and properly formatted and only literature cited in the text can be listed.

(1) For typical journal citations it follows the form:

Author(s), publication year: Article title. Journal name, volume, page range.

For example,

Boville, B. A., and J. W. Hurrell, 1998: A comparison of the atmospheric circulations simulated by the CCM3 and CSM1. J. Climate, 11, 1327–1341.

(2) For a book it follows the form:

Author(s), publication year: Book Title. Publisher, total pages.

For example,

Pedlosky, J., 1987: Geophysical Fluid Dynamics. 2nd ed., Springer-Verlag, 710pp.

(3) For a chapter in a book it follows the form:

Author(s), publication year: chapter title. Book Title, Editor(s), Publisher, page range.

For example,

Zhang,  R. H., and J. P. Chao, 1993: Mechanisms of interannual variations in a simple air-sea coupled model in the tropics. Climate Variability, D. H. Ye, et al., Eds., China Meteorological Press, Beijing, 236–244.

(4) For a website, it follows the form:  

Chou, M.-D., and M. J. Suarez, 1994: An efficient thermal infrared radiation parameterization for use in general circulation model. NASA Tech. Memo. 104606, Vol. 3, 85 pp. [Available online at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Code 913, Greenbelt, MD 20771.]

四、Figures

Vector-based figures (eps., ai., or psd.) should be provided upon acceptance of a paper.

五、Animation

AAS accepts submission with animation. Authors can submit it as supplementary materials via ScholarOne if the video is less than 10 M. The format flv. (or mpeg, avi, etc.) is desired. If the video is more than 10 M, authors are suggested providing a URL of the video for the convenience of the reviewers. The original video can be sent to the Editorial Office upon acceptance of the paper.

六、Copyright information

As a member of Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), Advances in Atmospheric Sciences conforms to Code of Conducts and Guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics and is committed to publishing original work by the named author or authors.

As soon as an article is submitted, authors will be requested to assign copyright of the article (or to grant exclusive publication and dissemination rights) to the publisher (respective the owner if other than Springer).
