The Geography department has a strong climatology programme covering all scales. It has an emphasis on the atmospheric boundary layer, especially micro-, local and meso-scale aspects, but it also maintains interests in synoptic and global climates. Special interest has centered on micro-, topo-, urban and air pollution climatology. For example, there are ongoing studies on thermal microclimates, sea breeze and mountain wind systems. There is also work on the linkage between meso- and synoptic scale weather, especially in relation to air pollution, synoptic classification schemes and the likely impacts of global climate change. The task of predicting the weather that will be observed at a future time is called weather forecasting. As one of the primary objectives of the science of meteorology, weather forecasting has depended critically on the scientific and technological advances in meteorology that have taken place since the latter half of the 19th century. 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.
