a peer-reviewed, Open Access, online-only journal. It publishes
scientific discoveries and advances in understanding in meteorology,
climatology, the atmospheric sciences and related interdisciplinary
areas. SOLA focuses on presenting new and scientifically rigorous
observations, experiments, data analyses, numerical modeling, data
assimilation, and technical developments as quickly as possible. It
achieves this via rapid peer review and publication of research letters,
published as Regular Articles.

strong research and publication ethics principles. Most manuscripts
receive a first decision within one month and a decision upon
resubmission within a further month. Accepted articles are then quickly
published on the journal’s website, where they are easily accessible to
our broad audience.
