journal-of-climate
separate
Use when targeting Journal of Climate or deciding whether a climate-dynamics or climate-variability manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the large-scale-climate-science bar, model-evaluation and statistical-rigor expectations, AMS house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
When to use
- fit/framing check for a climate-dynamics or climate-variability paper
- re-framing a regional analysis or model run into a large-scale climate-science contribution
- choosing between Journal of Climate, a dynamics-focused AMS sibling, and a broader earth-science venue
- checking model-evaluation and statistical-significance expectations
- large-scale atmospheric and oceanic circulation and their role in climate
- climate variability and modes (ENSO, NAO, monsoons, decadal variability)
- climate change detection, attribution, and projection
- climate modeling and model evaluation
When not to use
- local weather case study
- short-range forecast verification
- impacts paper that applies climate data without contributing to climate understanding
- replacing the journal's current author guidance
