Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences: Journal Rankings

Journal Rankings

TQCC Average citations Median citations H4-Index Number of Papers Impact Factor

(The Journal Impact Factor, or JIF, denotes the average number of citations a paper of a given journal accrues within a two-year timespan, as calculated by Clarivate Analytics' database Web of Science; note that the journal coverage here at OOIR might deviate slightly from Web of Science's. The JIFs are rounded here for copyright-related reasons.)
