• Experimental design is given weight, and the journal is interested in the way a measurement is planned as well as in its result.实验设计受到重视，该刊对测量的筹划方式与其结果同样感兴趣。

• Papers that describe a new instrument are admitted alongside those that use one, since the journal values the means of observation.描述新仪器的论文与使用仪器的论文一并收载，该刊看重观测的手段。

• Work on the cryosphere appears, and studies of ice, snow and frozen ground are taken.冰冻圈的工作也有出现，冰、雪与冻土的研究受到收载。

• Ocean and atmospheric science fall within the journal, and studies of circulation and of the exchange between sea and air are admitted.海洋与大气科学属于该刊范围，关于环流以及海气交换的研究也在接纳之列。

• The journal carries work on natural hazards where a measurement bears on the risk, and it has published on seismic and on space weather events.该刊在测量与风险相关之处收载自然灾害方面的工作，曾发表过地震与空间天气事件的文章。

• Open data practice is encouraged, and authors are asked to deposit their measurements in a public archive.该刊鼓励开放数据做法，并要求作者把测量数据存入公共存档。
