Overview

Top Research Topics at Meteorologische Zeitschrift?

Meteorology, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation and Remote sensing are the subjects of interest in the journal. The in-depth study on Meteorology also explores topics in the intersecting field of Radar. In addition to Climatology research, it aims to explore topics under Climate change, Climate model and Downscaling.

The journal addresses concerns in Atmospheric sciences which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Atmosphere and Aerosol. The work tackled in Meteorologische Zeitschrift goes beyond the discipline of Precipitation as it also encompasses Convection.

  • Meteorology (38.69%)
  • Climatology (24.88%)
  • Atmospheric sciences (18.38%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • World Map of the Köppen-Geiger climate classification updated (5503 citations)
  • Köppen's climate classification map for Brazil (3716 citations)
  • The Regional Climate Model COSMO-CLM (CCLM) (635 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Meteorologische Zeitschrift:

The journal publications investigate studies in Meteorology, Climatology, Atmospheric sciences, Precipitation and Remote sensing. Most of the works presented in the most cited papers deal with Meteorology but they intersect with the subject of Mechanics. While Climatology is the focus of the journal papers, it also provides insights into the studies of Storm and Climate change, Climate model, Downscaling.

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

  • World War II
  • Meteorology
  • Ecology

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The primary areas of discussion in Meteorologische Zeitschrift are Meteorology, Atmospheric sciences, Climate change, Precipitation and Remote sensing. While work presented in it provided substantial information on Meteorology, it also covered topics in International airport, Terrain and Lidar. The research on Atmospheric sciences featured in Meteorologische Zeitschrift combines topics in other fields like Term (time), Natural ventilation, Spatial heterogeneity and Urban area.

The research on Climate change tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Storm, Period (geology), Climatology and Economic geography. Meteorologische Zeitschrift focuses on Precipitation but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Quality (business), Cyclone, Transfer entropy and Kriging. While it focused on Remote sensing, it was also able to explore topics like Irradiance and Cloud detection.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Spatial heterogeneity of the Inn Valley Cold Air Pool during south foehn: Observations from an array of temperature loggers during PIANO (3 citations)
  • Thermal conditions during heat waves of a mid-European metropolis under consideration of climate change, urban development scenarios and resilience measures for the mid‑21st century (3 citations)
  • Dual-polarimetric radar estimators of liquid water content over Germany (2 citations)

Papers citation over time

A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.

The top authors publishing in Meteorologische Zeitschrift (based on the number of publications) are:

  • Stefan Emeis (46 papers) published 2 papers at the last edition, 1 more than at the previous edition,
  • Volker Wulfmeyer (22 papers) absent at the last edition,

  • Stefan Brönnimann (18 papers) absent at the last edition,
  • Bodo Ahrens (17 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition the same number as at the previous edition.

The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.

Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered

The top affiliations publishing in Meteorologische Zeitschrift (based on the number of publications) are:

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, 94.74% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 100.00% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 0.00% 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.
