As Editors‐in‐Chief of Atmospheric Science Letters (ASL2), we just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has continued to make ASL2 a success in 2020. To all our Associate Editors, everyone who has reviewed a manuscript, anyone who has read an ASL2 paper, anyone who has cited an ASL2 paper and to all the support from the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) and Wiley, THANK YOU! We cannot do this without you all.

There's no doubt that this year has been a bit different. We held the first virtual ASL2 Board meeting in November. The meeting was very well attended by our Associate Editors from all over the world and we were grateful to be able to “meet” some of our new board members. At the meeting, we discussed a number of changes to ASL2 with the aim to improve transparency, publication speed and manuscript quality in the future.

Looking forward to the New Year, we aim to continue to improve ASL2's impact factor, working with RMetS and Wiley in a number of ways to increase visibility and readership. We are also going to be focusing on supporting Early Career Researchers more, ASL2 is perfect for early career submissions due to its short length requirements, and we aim to publish an Early Career Special Issue in the near future.

Despite everything going on, atmospheric science continues to be a thriving scientific area, and we continue to receive high‐quality, original and innovative manuscripts so all we can say is thank you.

We hope you have a lovely break over the holiday season and that you and your family stay safe. Here's to 2021!

作为大气科学快报（ASL2）的主编，我们只想对在2020年继续使ASL2取得成功的每个人表示由衷的感谢。对于我们的所有副编辑，审查稿件的所有人，任何人，阅读ASL2论文的人，引用ASL2论文的人，并得到皇家气象学会（RMetS）和Wiley的所有支持，谢谢！没有你们，我们无法做到这一点。

毫无疑问，今年有所不同。我们在11月举行了第一次虚拟ASL2董事会会议。来自世界各地的副编辑出席了这次会议，我们很高兴能够“结识”一些新的董事会成员。在会议上，我们讨论了对ASL2的许多更改，目的是在将来提高透明度，出版速度和稿件质量。

展望新的一年，我们旨在与RMetS和Wiley合作，以多种方式提高ASL2的影响因子，以提高知名度和读者群。我们还将重点关注对早期职业研究人员的更多支持，ASL2由于篇幅短，非常适合早期职业研究，我们的目标是在不久的将来发布早期职业特别期刊。

尽管一切都在进行，大气科学仍然是一个蓬勃发展的科学领域，我们将继续收到高质量，原创和创新的手稿，因此我们只能说谢谢。

我们希望您在假期期间度过一个美好的假期，并希望您和家人安全。这是到2021年！
