Tellus, Series B: Chemical and Physical Meteorology

Aims & Scope

Tellus B: Chemical and Physical Meteorology along with its sister journal Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, are the international, peer-reviewed journals of the International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm, an independent non-for-profit body integrated into the Department of Meteorology at the Faculty of Sciences of Stockholm University, Sweden.

Aiming to promote the exchange of knowledge about meteorology from across a range of scientific sub-disciplines, the two journals serve an international community of researchers, policy makers, managers, media and the general public.

Original research papers comprise the mainstay of Tellus B.

Review articles, brief research notes, and letters to the editor are also welcome.

Special issues and conference proceedings are published from time to time.
