Overview

Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences is an international journal dedicated to publishing original research across all fields of atmospheric science.

  • Emphasizes on theoretical, observational, and numerical studies on meteorological, climatological, and atmospheric environmental issues in the Asia-Pacific region.
  • Published fully in English, continuing the tradition of the Journal of the Korean Meteorological Society since 1965.
  • Publishes research articles, comprehensive reviews on topical subjects, and brief research notes and communications of preliminary results.

  • About the Society

    New Content ItemThe Korean Meteorological Society (KMS), founded in 1963, is a scientific community that serves the members’ activities in various fields of meteorology and atmospheric sciences, including atmospheric dynamics, modeling, climatology, and applied meteorology. Through fostering the cooperation in research and sharing useful data not only among members but scientists in the Asia-Pacific region, the KMS contributes to expanding the knowledge of atmospheric sciences and applying the understanding to solve social problems...

  • Call for Papers: Abnormal climate in 2022 summer in Korea and Asia

    In the summer of 2022, severe weather occurred across Asia. Temperatures in Pakistan and India reached 50°C, and in China, heat waves continued along the Yangtze River basin, with areas reaching 45°C. According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, it was the first time in June that temperatures above 40°C were measured for more than two days.

    In Pakistan, a great flood killed more than 1,000 people. It usually rains a lot during the monsoon each year, but this torrential downpour was significantly different. On August 8-9, 2022, it rained explosively in the Seoul metropolitan area within a short time period. Due to the narrow width of the precipitation system, there were many places that were excluded from the effects of such explosive precipitation even within the Korean Peninsula. Concentrated precipitation in such a narrow convection band is thought to have a different mechanism behind the traditional rainy season. Moreover, Typhoon Hinnamnor, which directly affected the Korean Peninsula on September 5-6, showed a unique characteristic in its formation, development and track. The southwest movement from the western Pacific to the coast of Taiwan and the subsequent re-development were a rare phenomenon that was difficult to observe until now.

    Weather the heat waves over Asia and the torrential downpours that swept Korea and Pakistan in the summer of 2022 were indeed affected by the changing climate is also of interest to the public. It is therefore necessary to collect and publish a special issue, which analyzes the mechanism of severe weather phenomena or studies its relationship with climate change.
