Weather and Climate Dynamics

Weather and Climate Dynamics (WCD) is a not-for-profit international scientific journal dedicated to the publication and public discussion of high-quality research on dynamical processes in the atmosphere. It represents a timely effort to establish a seamless perspective on atmospheric flows, on scales from weather to climate (minutes to decades). The scope of the journal includes the following: the dynamics of extreme weather events (case studies and climatological analyses); weather system dynamics in tropical, midlatitude and polar regions; interactions of atmospheric flows with cloud physics and/or radiation; links between the atmospheric water cycle and weather systems; tropical-extratropical and midlatitude-polar interactions; atmospheric teleconnections and stratosphere-troposphere coupling; boundary-layer dynamics and coupling to land, ocean and ice; atmospheric variability and predictability on time scales from minutes to decades; storm track and Hadley cell dynamics; role of atmospheric dynamics in palaeoclimate and climate change projections; and other aspects of weather and climate dynamics. Theoretical studies, idealized numerical studies, full-physics numerical studies, and diagnostic studies using (re)analysis and/or observational data are welcome. The journal is dedicated to promoting studies that advance our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and the implications for weather and climate. Authors should pay particular attention to whether their paper would fit better in other journals published by EGU Publications, such as Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, Climate of the Past, Geoscientific Model Development, Earth System Dynamics, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, and Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics. The manuscript types considered for peer-reviewed publication are research articles, review articles, and commentaries/replies.
