Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere (
SOLA) is a fully Open Access journal under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) License, and aims to make a first decision within one month and a decision upon resubmission within a further month.
Last year, we published 44 papers including those in the Special Editions of Research on Extreme Weather Events That Occurred around East Asia in 2017-2021 and of the Frontier of Atmospheric Science with High Performance Computing. There is also a new special edition on Advances in Studies of Torrential-Rain-Producing Quasi-Stationary Band-Shaped Precipitating Systems, or ‘Senjo-Kousuitai’, which currently welcomes submissions. Those who are interested in this topic are encouraged to submit papers to this special edition.
The Editorial Committee of
SOLA presents the SOLA Award to one or two outstanding papers published in each year. The SOLA Award in 2022 were presented to two papers: Maejima et al. (2022) and Nasuno et al. (2022). The SOLA Award in 2023 will be announced shortly, by the end of January 2024.
There is a change in the word count limitation for papers submitted in 2024 and afterwards. This is because
Journal of the Meteorological Society of Japan, the sister journal, will cease publishing "Note" paper. In order to accommodate needs to publish short articles,
SOLA will increase the word count limitation up to 3500 at the time of the acceptance. The current word count limitation of 3100 words still applies at the time of the initial submission, based on the total words included in the abstract and in the main body of the manuscript; but with the title, authors’ names and affiliations excluded in the word count.
We hope that
SOLA is one of your preferred platforms where you can disseminate your research achievements.
SOLA welcomes submission from the international community in meteorology, atmospheric sciences, and the related fields.
