Overview

Top Research Topics at Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters?

The journal facilitates discussions on Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Meteorology, Precipitation and Oceanography. While work presented in the journal provided substantial information on Climatology, it also covered topics in Climate model and East Asia. While Atmospheric sciences is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Atmosphere, Latitude and Aerosol.

The study on Meteorology featured in the journal expounds on the topic of Weather Research and Forecasting Model in particular. Climate change and Anomaly (natural sciences) are some topics wherein Precipitation research discussed in Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters have an impact. Many of the studies tackled connect Sea surface temperature with a similar field of study like Tropical pacific.

  • Climatology (60.99%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (23.36%)
  • Meteorology (18.50%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The Projection of Temperature and Precipitation over China under RCP Scenarios using a CMIP5 Multi-Model Ensemble (132 citations)
  • Homogenized Daily Mean/Maximum/Minimum Temperature Series for China from 1960-2008 (126 citations)
  • Weak Vertical Diffusion Allows Maintenance of Cold Halocline in the Central Arctic (78 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters:

The journal publications primarily focus on research topics in Climatology, Precipitation, Climate change, Atmospheric sciences and Meteorology. The majority of Climatology studies presented in the journal papers zero in on Monsoon. The journal papers address concerns in Precipitation which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Spatial distribution and Empirical orthogonal functions.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Meteorology
  • Climate change
  • Statistics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters covers a variety of subjects, including Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Tropical cyclone, Precipitation and Sea surface temperature. The studies in El Niño Southern Oscillation under the umbrella field of Climatology overlap with concepts in South china. While Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters focused on Atmospheric sciences, it was also able to explore topics like Atmosphere, Intensity (heat transfer), Climate model and Monsoon.

The journal investigates Intensity (heat transfer) research which frequently intersects with Range (statistics). Tropical cyclone research discussed connects with the study of Intensity change.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • State of China's Climate in 2020 (3 citations)
  • Global air quality change during the COVID-19 pandemic: Regionally different ozone pollution responses COVID-19: 疫情期间全球空气质量变化:臭氧响应的区域间差异 (3 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 6.58% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 90.14% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.04% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 2.82% of all publications and 0.00% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
