Climatology  has evolved along with our ability to observe and measure the system’s elements including basic temperature and precipitation, cloud types, atmospheric humidity, wind speed and velocity, barometric pressure, soil moisture, and many more. Presently, scientists monitor weather and climate using a combination of instruments that make surface-based and upper-air (i.e., radiosondes or rawindsones) observations at various locations, and satellites that monitor wide geographic areas. Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the conditions of the atmosphere for a given location and time. Once calculated by hand based mainly upon changes in barometric pressure, current weather conditions, and sky condition or cloud cover, weather forecasting now relies on computer-based models that take many atmospheric factors into account. Human input is still required to pick the best possible forecast model to base the forecast upon, which involves pattern recognition skills, teleconnections, knowledge of model performance, and knowledge of model biases. The information can be published in our peer reviewed journal with impact factors and are calculated using citations not only from research articles but also review articles (which tend to receive more citations), editorials, letters, meeting abstracts, short communications, and case reports. The inclusion of these publications provides the opportunity for editors and publishers to manipulate the ratio used to calculate the impact factor and try to increase their number rapidly. Impact factor plays a major role for the particular journal. Journal with higher impact factor is considered to be more important than other ones.
