Journal of Tropical Meteorology (JTM) is a quarterly academic journal concerned with the study of tropical atmospheric sciences, sponsored by the Guangzhou Institute of Tropical and Marine Meteorology, China Meteorological Administration, and supervised by Guangdong Meteorological Service. The journal has its own editorial office and is distributed by its own press to scientists all over the world. ISSN1006-8775；CN44-1409/P.
Founded in 1995, JTM adheres to the strictest academic standards whilst working closely with world renowned scientists in their field of research. It is committed to promoting the exchange and prosperity of meteorologists' academic achievements on a global scale. In more recent times, this journal has become a world-renowned trusted source for the scientific community both at home and abroad.
JTM belongs to the journal of atmospheric science, but focuses on the field of tropical meteorology. It focuses on the academic achievements in a range of areas including tropical atmospheric dynamics, meteorology, climatology, atmospheric physics, atmospheric environment, numerical weather forecasting, new forecasting methods, as well as summarizes the research progress and trends in this field.
All the articles published in each issue are supported by various funds, offering reference for researchers, professionals, teachers and students in the fields of meteorology, oceanography, geography, aerospace, agriculture, forestry, fishery, water conservancy and electricity.
