1. Introduction
This document will provide authors with the basic Journal of Meteorological Research (JMR) formatting guidelines. The following sections will outline the guidelines and formatting for text, math, figures, and tables using Microsoft Word and MathType. A more thorough review of all manuscript requirements can be found in the JMR Authors Guide (available online at http://www.cmsjournal.net/qxxb_en/ch/index.aspx under the menu “For Authors”, coming soon).
2. Formatting text and sections
The text should be divided into sections, each with a separate heading and numbered consecutively (unless it is a single secondary or tertiary section). The primary, secondary, and tertiary headings should be formatted on a separate line.
Checklist for the content of your paper (Content Consistency Check)：
(1) In the introduction and summary sections, innovative results and significance (differences to previous works) of this study are advised to be highlighted in red or boldface. For accepted papers, however, the highlighting in red/boldface is not required.
(2) Ponder to see if each graph, its caption, and the text describing the results shown by the graph are logically consistent? Has each graph been fully analyzed? Please don’t pile up figures. Keep in mind that figures are shown for the purpose to answer scientific questions! (Please don’t present ‘vase-type figure’ only for a “good-looking” purpose; with only one or two sentences in the paper to describe a big figure leads to an awkward imbalance between graphs and text of the paper!)
(3) Do you spell out every abbreviation throughout your paper the first time you use it? Please check carefully! (Always spell out the abbreviation the first time it is used in the body as well as the abstract of your paper)
(4) Are terminologies and definitions expressed in a consistent manner throughout the paper?
(5) Do you follow the subject-verb agreement rule? (Please avoid the mistakes that a singular subject takes a plural verb, whereas a plural subject takes a singular verb!)
(6) Do you use the narrative tense consistently throughout the paper (the same tense should be used when discussing similar scenarios)?
(7) Do you try to use simple sentences as much as possible? When using compound and complex sentences, can you identify subjects and verbs for the main clause and the subordinate clause? Can you identify the noun or phrase that an attributive clause is used to describe? Can you identify the verb or phrase that an adverbial clause tries to reinforce?
(8) Is there a topic sentence in each paragraph?
(9) Does each sentence in the paragraph support the topic sentence?
(10) Are there any very long paragraphs? If so, please keep in mind that long paragraphs must be broken down to short ones!
(11) Do you cite any references for descriptions and conclusions in the main body that are not derived from calculation and analysis of the paper?
(12) Have you cited all the figures and tables? Is there any figure and/or table that is/are provided but not cited? Take this chance to check in sequence the cited figure/table numbers in the text.
(13) Are the quantitative and qualitative results presented in the conclusions section consistent with that in the main body and in the abstract?
2.1 Secondary headings
Lettered subsections (secondary headings) are formatted in bold italics as shown above. If there is only one subsection, it is unlettered and unnumbered.
2.1.1 Tertiary headings
Sub-subsections (tertiary headings) are formatted in italics (not bold), as shown. If there is only one, then it is unnumbered, as above.
2.1.2 Tertiary headings
New paragraphs should be indented.
2.2 Citations
Citations are done like this: Becker and Schmitz (2003) or put them in the brackets sequentially (Becker and Schmitz, 2003; Becker, 2005; Schmitz, 2008) (please highlight the citation in blue so as to compare it with that in the reference section). Every citation should have a matching reference in the References Section. The JMR guidelines for references will be coming on the JMR web site soon.
3. Formatting math
The following sections will outline the basic formatting rules for mathematical symbols and units.
3.1 Mathematical symbols
Symbols must be of the same font style both in text discussion and in displayed equations or terms (and figures should be prepared to match). Scalar single character symbols are set italic, Greek, or script. Examples are u, L, w, x, y, z, f, s, g, r, indices such as i or j, and constants such as CD, k, or K. Note that the exponential index e and i for the imaginary part of a complex variable are nonitalic. Multiple character scalar variables, abbreviations, nondimensional numbers, and acronyms for variables are set regular nonitalic: LWC, Re, Ro, BTsfc, abs, obs, max, min, Re/Im (real/imaginary), etc. For vectors, use boldface italic Times Roman as in V, v, or x, and i, j, and k unit vectors. For matrix notation use italic Arial boldface font as in A, B, or M. Arial boldface font is also used for linear operators. Nonlinear operators and special functions (e.g. Heaviside function) can be set as a script variable: H. All mathematical operator abbreviations/acronyms are set lower-case regular Roman font, except O (on the order of), which is set italic: O(102), sin, cos, tan, tanh, cov, Pr (for probability; note same as Prandtl number), const (for constant), c.c. (complex conjugate).
3.2 Units
Units are always set on a single line with a space separating the denominator, which is set with a superscript −1, −2, and so on, rather than using a slash for “per.” Examples are g kg−1, m2 s−1, W m−2, g m−3, and m s−1 (note that ms−1 is the unit for “per millisecond”).
3.3 Equations
Brief equations or terms set inline in text must be set as a single line expression, if possible, because page proofs are not double spaced, for example, r−1p/x or (1/r) p/x or (a – b)/(c – d). Also please enter them directly from the keyboard if possible. For more complex variables that have both subscripts and superscripts, or have a more complicated operator such as a radical sign, use of the MathType equation editor is recommended: , , . In the case of a more complicated term or equation, it should be set as an unnumbered display equation, such as
,
or as a numbered equation if it is to be referred to again or is a part of a derivation :
. (1)
Note that the equation number above was entered from the keyboard outside of
MathType.
4. Figures and tables
4.1 Figures
The insertion of a sample figure (Fig. 1) and caption is shown below.
Fig. 1. A Figure is represented by a small frame followed with a caption. The figure captions have to end with a period. All figures should be attached at the end of the manuscript text if you use representing frames in the text, or inserted directly in the text if you do not prefer to use frames.
Note: color figures are charged differently. If you provide a color figure in your manuscript, it is assumed that you want it to be printed out in color. Otherwise, please provide a black-and-white figure, and make sure the figure caption does not include any color denotation.
Check the figure quality：
(1) We’ll ask you by email for separate graphic files once your paper is accepted. But be aware in advance that vector graphs are preferred and most of time required. The suffix for graphic files should be .ai; .ps; .eps; .gmf; .wmf; and .emf. If vector plots are really not obtainable, the non-vector plots (those with suffixes of tiff, jpg, png, gif, bmp) need to be 2-3 times larger than their original size in the final .doc or .pdf file.
(2) Figures in color in the final accepted version will be printed in color, unless authors have already provided (or will timely provide) black-and-white substitutes, and modified all the associated text in the final version. Note, for black-white figures, the shadings have to be distinguishable.
(3) Desirable resolution of color and grayscale images in vector is approximately 300 dpi; the resolution of non-vector images should be between 699-900 dpi; the width should range between 110 and 120 mm for full-column figures and 60 to 65 mm for half-column figures.
(4) Please check carefully whether the figures in your paper meet the above requirements. Please provide figures that meet the above requirements.
4.2 Tables
Each table must be numbered, provided with a legend, and mentioned specifically in the text. Each table should come with an explanatory caption typed above the table on the same page. Shading is not allowed. All tables should be inserted in the text, or attached prior to the figures at the end of the manuscript if you prefer to use frames.
