News from the Journal of the EMS – JEMS
Report by the Editors-in-Chief on recent events
During the Annual Meeting of the EMS in Ljubljana we had two major events for the Journal of the European Meteorological Society:
- We held the 7th meeting of the Editorial Board (EB) as a hybrid meeting during the EMS2025 in Ljubljana, and were joined by some of the members of the International Advisory Board, onsite and online. Good discussions triggered new ideas which we will follow up in the coming months. Noteworthy is that we had online participants from various time zones, reaching from China to the USA.
- Meet-the-Editors event. The Editors in Chief, Gert-Jan Steeneveld and Johannes Schmetz, supported by Sandra Broerse from the publisher Elsevier and Martina Junge from the EMS, met with many scientists and discussed future possible contributions to JEMS, as well as informing widely on the aim and scope of this journal launch by the EMS.
The Journal of the European Meteorological Society (JEMS) publishes international scientific research and review articles of broad interest and relevance on weather, climate and related fields. It also serves as a forum for relevant news from the European Meteorological Society (EMS), making it the European counterpart of prominent American journals. In that respect, JEMS is already seen as a good forum for such overview and state-of-the-art papers of general interest in our remit, such as
- Articles on important developments in Earth observation and monitoring systems, meteorological measurement techniques, the use of observations, modelling approaches and model use;
- Articles on advances in weather forecasting and warning systems, computers and artificial intelligence;
- Communication of extreme weather conditions and climate issues to and with the public, and on new insights into education and training in atmospheric science;.
- Short reports and special issues on all of the above topics are encouraged.
The full scope of JEMS is described in JEMS aims and scope
As JEMS is still in its infancy, support by the EMS Members & community in encouraging contributions is vital for the further development of this second flagship of the EMS. JEMS should become the preferred European forum for peer-reviewed general communications in the remit of the EMS. Other entities, similar to the EMS, have such fora. The EMS and Europe do need that too. It will also serve as forum to document our important international cooperations.
