Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science

Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science is a peer-reviewed journal of environmental and earth-system research that CSIRO Publishing produces for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in association with the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society.《南半球地球系统科学杂志》是一份同行评议的地球系统与环境研究期刊，由 CSIRO Publishing 替澳大利亚气象局出版，并与 Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society 合作。

Its remit is the mean state, variability and change of the atmosphere, the oceans and the land surface of the Southern Hemisphere, including the cryosphere, treated at scales from regional to hemispheric.其收录范围是南半球大气、海洋与陆表的平均状态、变率与变化，冰冻圈亦在其内，尺度从区域到半球。

Articles are free to read and carry no publication charge, every paper is given a DOI, and the serial is registered under the electronic ISSN 2206-5865 within the Science Citation Index Expanded.论文可免费获取且不收取发表费用，每篇均分配 DOI，该刊以电子 ISSN 2206-5865 登记，并被 Science Citation Index Expanded 收录。

Scope

• The scope statement is unusually explicit about what the journal accepts, and its organising principle is that a contribution should speak to the southern half of the globe rather than to a single discipline.其范围声明对收录内容规定明确，组织原则是来稿应与南半球这一半球尺度相关，而非只诉诸单一学科。

• General circulation of the atmosphere and of the oceans forms the core of the list, so studies of the wind and current systems that move heat and moisture around the south are standard material.大气与海洋的一般环流构成范围的核心，环绕南半球输送热量与水分的环流研究属常规内容。

• Climate change and climate variability are named separately, and papers may address either the observed record of southern change or the mechanisms that produce it.气候变化与气候变率被分列其中，稿件可处理南半球变化的观测记录，也可处理其成因机制。

• Climate impacts form their own heading in the published list, which opens the journal to work linking physical change to water, ecosystems, hazards and infrastructure.气候影响在官网列表中单列，使刊物接纳把物理变化同水资源、生态系统、灾害与基础设施相连的研究。

• Climate modelling is in scope, and so is past change in the climate system, including palaeoclimate variability reconstructed from southern archives such as ice cores, sediments and corals.气候模式在收录之列，气候系统的历史变化亦同，包括由冰芯、沉积物与珊瑚等南半球档案重建的古气候变率。

• Atmospheric dynamics and synoptic meteorology keep the journal's forecasting lineage visible, with pressure systems, fronts and southern storm tracks long-standing subjects.大气动力学与天气学使其预报传统清晰可见，气压系统、锋面与南半球风暴路径是长期主题。

• Mesoscale meteorology and severe weather, together with tropical meteorology, cover convective storms, heat waves, drought, and the tropical cyclones that affect northern Australia and the surrounding oceans.中尺度气象与灾害性天气、热带气象三向并列，涵盖对流风暴、热浪、干旱，以及影响澳大利亚北部与周边海域的热带气旋。

• Observation systems and remote sensing of atmospheric, oceanic and land-surface processes are listed as a field in their own right, which admits instrument, retrieval and product-development papers.观测系统与大气、海洋及陆表过程的遥感被单列为一个方向，因而接纳仪器、反演与产品研发类论文。

• Weather, climate and ocean prediction appear together with data assimilation applied to those subject areas, a pairing that reflects the operational community the journal serves.天气、气候与海洋预测同应用于这些方向的数据同化并列，此组合反映该刊所服务的业务界。

• Atmospheric and oceanic composition and chemistry bring aerosols, trace gases and biogeochemical cycling into the range of admissible topics.大气与海洋成分及化学把气溶胶、痕量气体纳入可收主题，生物地球化学循环亦同。

• Physical oceanography is named, along with air-sea interactions and coastal zone processes, so upwelling, boundary currents, sea-level change and shelf dynamics all qualify.物理海洋学与之并列，另有海气相互作用与海岸带过程，上升流、边界流、海平面变化与陆架动力均合范围。

• Hydrology is included explicitly, which makes southern rainfall-runoff, river flow, groundwater and soil-moisture studies admissible without a coupling to atmospheric science.水文被明文列入，故南半球的降雨径流、河流流量、地下水与土壤水分研究即使不接大气科学亦可投稿。

• Cryosphere-atmosphere and land-surface-atmosphere interactions are listed as separate items, giving Antarctic sea ice and Australian land surface fluxes parallel standing in the scope.冰冻圈与大气、陆表与大气两类相互作用分列其中，使南极海冰与澳大利亚陆面通量在范围中并列。

• Space weather completes the published list, with impacts on technology, and ionospheric, magnetospheric and auroral physics, together with space physics generally.空间天气为官网列表的末项，包括对技术的影响、电离层、磁层与极光物理，以及空间物理的一般研究。

History

• The serial's own history begins in 1952, when volume 1 of Australian Meteorological Magazine appeared as the research publication of the Bureau of Meteorology.该刊自身的历史始于 1952 年，当年 Australian Meteorological Magazine 第 1 卷作为澳大利亚气象局的研究出版物创刊。

• That title ran annually for 57 volumes, and the National Library of Australia's Trove service holds its papers from 1952 to 2008, the span the Bureau itself gives for the magazine.该题名以年度卷次延续 57 卷，澳大利亚国家图书馆 Trove 服务保存其 1952 至 2008 年的论文，正是气象局为该刊划定的区间。

• From 2009 the same volume series continued as Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal, covering volumes 58 to 65 through 2015 under the ISSN 1836-716X.2009 年起同一卷次序列以 Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Journal 之名延续，2015 年的第 65 卷为止共 58 至 65 卷，使用 ISSN 1836-716X。

• The present title begins with volume 66, published in 2016, and the container title deposited in Crossref changes to Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science from that volume onward.现名始于 2016 年出版的第 66 卷，Crossref 中登记的载体题名自该卷起改作 Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science。

• Volume numbering never restarted through the two name changes, so the single sequence runs from 1952 to volume 76, the volume in which 2026 material is being issued.两次更名均未重排卷号，卷次序列自 1952 年一路延续到第 76 卷，2026 年的论文正编入该卷。

• Identifiers moved with the titles: 0004-9743 for the magazine, 1836-716X for the meteorology and oceanography journal, and 2206-5865 registered for the online serial, with deposits of early renamed issues still citing 1836-716X.标识符随题名更动，杂志用 0004-9743，气象海洋学刊用 1836-716X，网络连续出版物另登记 2206-5865，更名初期各期仍有引 1836-716X 的存档。

• Ownership stayed with the Bureau throughout, while production changed hands: the Bureau published the journal itself until CSIRO Publishing took over the imprint in 2020.所有权始终归气象局，制作则曾易手，气象局自办出版至 2020 年，此后由 CSIRO Publishing 承担这一书印。

• From that year the masthead names the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society as an associated body, linking the journal to the professional community that reads AMOJ material.自该年起刊头列 Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society 为合作学会，把该刊同长期阅读前身刊文的业界社群相连。

• Directory of Open Access Journals records the serial's open-access start as 2019, and its listing shows no article-processing charge and no other author charge.开放获取期刊目录记录该刊自 2019 年起开放获取，其条目显示不收论文处理费，亦无其他作者费用。

• Coverage in Science Citation Index Expanded spans two categories, with OCEANOGRAPHY ranking the journal 42 of 67 titles and METEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES 91 of 114 in the 2025 edition.其 SCIE 覆盖跨两个类目，2025 年版 OCEANOGRAPHY 列第 42 位（共 67 刊），METEOROLOGY & ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCES 列第 91 位（共 114 刊）。

• The impact-factor series reported for the current title runs 1.878 in 2022, 2.5 in 2023, 3.3 in 2024 and 1.9 in 2025, and the 2025 release gives a five-year factor of 4.9.现名下的影响因子序列为 2022 年 1.878、2023 年 2.5、2024 年 3.3、2025 年 1.9，2025 年版另载五年因子 4.9。

• For 2025 the same report counts 35 citable documents and 543 citations, with a Journal Citation Indicator of 0.65, a cited half-life of 5.2 years and a JIF percentile of 38.1.同一报告在 2025 年计有 35 条可引文献与 543 次被引，期刊引用指标 0.65，被引半衰期 5.2 年，JIF 百分位 38.1。

• Volume 76 of 2026 carries its third issue, the three-part annual shape the serial now keeps.2026 年的第 76 卷已出至第 3 期，为该刊现行的一年三期制。

• Under the earlier title the journal regularly printed the Bureau's Seasonal climate summary southern hemisphere as ordinary numbered articles, a practice visible in deposits through 2015.在前身题名时期，该刊常把气象局的南半球气候季付摘要作为常规编号论文刊出，2015 年前的存档记录仍可见此惯例。

• Journal Citation Reports supplies the citation abbreviation J SO HEMISPH EARTH, the short form used in reference lists for the renamed serial.Journal Citation Reports 给出引文缩写 J SO HEMISPH EARTH，即更名后该刊在参考文献表中使用的简写形式。

Editors

• Editorial authority sits with the journal's own structure as published by the producer, a standing editorial board that takes submissions for the Bureau-owned title and works with CSIRO Publishing on production.编辑权按出版方公布的编辑架构运行，即一届常设编委会受理这座归气象局所有的期刊来稿，并与 CSIRO Publishing 协作制作。

• Volume 66 of 2016, the first under the present title, opened with an editorial signed by Sophie Lewis, and a further editorial note from the same hand followed in volume 67.2016 年第 66 卷作为现名首卷，以署名 Sophie Lewis 的社论开篇，第 67 卷又见同一手笔的编辑注。

• Review is single anonymous, the model the producer records for this title, so referees see the authors' names while authors do not see the referees'.该刊按出版方记录的单向匿名评审运行，审稿人可见作者姓名，作者不见审稿人身份。

• Its scope statement invites authors to write to the Editor before submitting, asking whether a proposed topic suits the journal, a pre-submission enquiry the Bureau title has kept.范围声明鼓励作者在投稿前致函编辑，询问拟投主题是否合宜，这一预询机制由气象局刊物沿用。

• Editors apply the southern dimension as a test of fit, since the published scope ties every listed subject to the hemisphere rather than to a process studied anywhere.编辑以半球维度作为契合度的检验，因其范围把各列主题系于南半球，而非任意地区的过程研究。

• Manuscripts are screened for textual overlap before review, a policy the producer documents alongside its editorial structure and open-access statement.稿件在外审前先经文字重复检测，此政策由出版方与编辑架构、开放获取声明并列公布。

• Because no charge falls on authors, the editorial decision is made independently of publication fees, and accepted papers are released free to read with a DOI assigned at registration.作者无须付费，编辑决定因而不涉发表费用，录用论文免费开放阅读，并在登记时取得 DOI。

• Authors transfer copyright to the publisher and the deposited licence terms for the open version are CC BY-NC-ND, permitting reuse for non-commercial ends without adaptation.作者向出版方转让版权，存档记录的开放版本许可为 CC BY-NC-ND，容许非商业且不改作的再利用。

• Catalogue records for the title put the interval from submission to publication at about twelve weeks, a figure the journal's modest output of some thirty papers a year makes workable.该刊目录记录所载投稿至刊出约十二周，年发文约三十篇的规模使这一周期可行。

• The society named on the masthead draws its members from the Australian and regional meteorology and oceanography community, the same community that supplied the predecessor titles' editorial boards.刊头所列学会的成员来自澳大利亚及区域的海洋气象界，与前身题名的编委来源同属一界。

• Carrying operational seasonal forecasts among research articles remains a feature of the editorial policy, a habit inherited from a Bureau publication and continued after the change of imprint in 2020.把业务季节预报同研究论文并列刊发仍是编辑方针的特点，这一习惯承自气象局的出版物，并在 2020 年改换书印后延续。
