QJRMS Special Issue on MAP-SOP results
Philippe Bougeault, Météo France, 31057 Toulouse, France,
At the first meeting of the MSC (Schliersee), it
was decided to launch a Special Issue of a respected
journal on the results of the MAP-SOP.
QJRMS was selected after a survey of conditions
offered by various journals. The deadline for
submission of papers was extended to 31 January
2002 and we finally received 37 papers,
which is more than expected, but a clear testimony
of the size and activity of the MAP community.
The manuscripts have been processed
in a very professional way by the office of the
QJ, and the review process is now under
progress. In view of the number of manuscripts
submitted, the QJRMS Editor has accepted to
rise to 500 the maximum number of pages for
the special issue. Even with this enlarged limit,
it is going to be a real challenge to publish all
these manuscripts in due time.
The guest editors for this Special Issue of the QJ
are Philippe Bougeault, Bob Houze, Rich Rotunno,
and Hans Volkert.
