Tellus A is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focusing on atmospheric dynamics, weather systems, and ocean-atmosphere interactions. It publishes original research, review articles, and special issues that intersect the work of researchers affiliated with institutions such as Stockholm University, University of Oslo, University of Bergen, Max Planck Society, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research. The journal has historically bridged communities involved with the World Meteorological Organization, European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics, and regional agencies like the Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute.
Tellus A covers topics in atmospheric science including synoptic dynamics, mesoscale phenomena, climate variability, and coupled ocean-atmosphere processes studied by groups at University of Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton University, California Institute of Technology, and ETH Zurich. The journal often features work using datasets from European Space Agency missions, National Aeronautics and Space Administration programs, and observatories such as Mauna Loa Observatory and Sverdrup Station. Tellus A's audience includes researchers from Sveriges Meteorologiska Och Hydrologiska Institut, members of the American Meteorological Society, and scientists contributing to assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Established in 1949 as part of a pair of series, Tellus A evolved alongside institutions like the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and research centers including Hadley Centre for Climate Science and Services and Institut Pierre-Simon Laplace. Early contributors included scientists connected to the International Geophysical Year and networks such as the Global Climate Observing System. Over decades, editorial leadership featured scholars from Stockholm University, University of Helsinki, University of Copenhagen, and the Norwegian Meteorological Institute, aligning the journal with initiatives like the World Climate Research Programme and collaborations with the European Space Agency and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The partnership with major publishers, notably Wiley-Blackwell, expanded distribution to libraries at Columbia University, University of Tokyo, and University of British Columbia.
Tellus A solicits manuscripts on topics ranging from theoretical fluid dynamics informing studies at Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Institute for Advanced Study to observational analyses using platforms such as Argo (oceanography), TOPEX/Poseidon, TRMM, and Sentinel missions. The editorial board has included affiliates of Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory. Methodologies frequently referenced relate to techniques developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory, European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, and computation centers like National Center for Atmospheric Research. The journal emphasizes studies with implications for agencies and programs such as National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, UK Met Office, and the Copernicus Programme.
Tellus A is indexed in major services used by researchers at Scopus, Web of Science, MathSciNet, and databases accessed by libraries at Harvard University, Yale University, University of Oxford, and McGill University. Citation metrics have been compared alongside journals such as Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Geophysical Research Letters, and Journal of Climate. Articles from Tellus A have been cited in reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, policy briefs from the European Commission, and technical notes by the World Meteorological Organization. The journal’s impact reflects its role in disseminating work relevant to projects like Coupled Model Intercomparison Project and field campaigns coordinated by the International Ocean Discovery Program.
Published quarterly, Tellus A accepts submissions from researchers affiliated with institutions including University of Reading, University of Toronto, Peking University, and Indian Institute of Science. The peer-review workflow involves reviewers from networks such as the American Geophysical Union, Royal Meteorological Society, and European Geosciences Union. Access is provided through publisher platforms used by consortia such as JSTOR, Project MUSE, and university subscriptions held by University of Melbourne and University of Cape Town, with hybrid open-access options enabling compliance with funders like the European Research Council and national agencies including Vetenskapsrådet (the Swedish Research Council).
Tellus A has published influential articles on topics tied to events and programs like the International Geophysical Year, the North Atlantic Oscillation, and the El Niño–Southern Oscillation. Special issues have focused on themes coordinated with centers such as ECMWF and initiatives like the Global Energy and Water Exchanges project, and have featured work by scientists connected to NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Met Office Hadley Centre, and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Seminal papers from authors affiliated with Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory have addressed stratosphere-troposphere coupling, baroclinic instability, and air-sea interaction processes that informed subsequent studies in journals like Nature Climate Change and Science Advances.
