Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics accepts original research papers for publication following the recommendations of a review panel. The emphasis lies with the following topic areas: 
- atmospheric dynamics and general circulation; 
- synoptic meteorology; 
- weather systems in specific regions, such as the tropics, the polar caps, the oceans; 
- atmospheric energetics; 
- numerical modeling and forecasting; 
- physical and chemical processes in the atmosphere, including radiation, optical effects, electricity, and atmospheric turbulence and transport processes; 
- mathematical and statistical techniques applied to meteorological data sets
Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics discusses physical and chemical processes - in both clear and cloudy atmospheres - including radiation, optical and electrical effects, precipitation and cloud microphysics.
