Abstract

The goal of this editorial is to 1) encourage authors to write American Meteorological Society (AMS) journal “comment” and “reply” (hereinafter Comment and Reply) article types and 2) provide guidance for the Comment and Reply process for AMS journals. A decline in Comment–Reply exchanges for Monthly Weather Review (MWR) and the Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences (JAS) was noted by Errico (2000), and Schultz (2008) reported only seven Comments on MWR papers from 2003 to 2008 (despite >1000 AMS scientific papers being published during that time). A similar declining trend is noted herein for Weather and Forecasting (WAF).
