Scope
Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science (JSHESS, formerly known as the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal and Australian Meteorological Magazine) publishes broad areas of research with a distinct emphasis on the Southern Hemisphere. The scope of the journal encompasses all of earth systems science, including the dynamics, physics, chemistry and biogeochemistry of the atmosphere, ocean and land surface, including the cryosphere, from hemispheric to local scale.
- general circulation of the atmosphere and oceans
- climate change and variability
- climate impacts
- climate modelling
- past change in the climate system including palaeoclimate variability
- atmospheric dynamics
- synoptic meteorology
- mesoscale meteorology and severe weather
- tropical meteorology
- observation systems
- remote sensing of atmospheric, oceanic and land surface processes
- weather, climate and ocean prediction
- atmospheric and oceanic composition and chemistry
- physical oceanography
- air–sea interactions
- coastal zone processes
- hydrology
- cryosphere–atmosphere interactions
- land surface–atmosphere interactions
- space weather, including impacts and mitigation on technology
- ionospheric, magnetospheric, auroral and space physics
- data assimilation applied to the above subject areas
