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.
