International Journal of Climate Research (IJCR) is a peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing scientific understanding of the Earth's climate system and its variability across spatial and temporal scales. The journal aims to publish high-quality original research, reviews, and methodological studies that enhance knowledge of climate processes through observational, experimental, theoretical, and modeling approaches.
The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, scientists, policymakers, and practitioners working on climate-related issues. It welcomes contributions addressing the dynamics, interactions, impacts, and management of climate variability and change from regional to global scales.
The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to:
Climate Processes and Variability
-
Atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and cryospheric climate processes
-
Interseasonal, interannual, decadal, and long-term climate variability
