10th Anniversary of Climate

The year 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of Climate, an independent, international and multi-disciplinary open access journal focusing on the climate processes on Earth, covering all scales, and involving diverse modelling and observation methods. Climate has published more than 900 papers. More than 280 of these papers have received over 10 citations. We sincerely appreciate and value the contributions to this journal made by the authors, reviewers and academic editors. To celebrate Climate's 10th anniversary, we are arranging a series of special content and events. We hope you can join us in celebrating this milestone for our journal and that you enjoy the collection below.
