The interdisciplinary journal Advances in Statistical Climatology, Meteorology and Oceanography (ASCMO) serves at the interface of statistics and the atmospheric and oceanic sciences. ASCMO gives statisticians and mathematicians the opportunity to reach more scientists while publishing cutting-edge statistical methodology. It also provides researchers in climatology, meteorology, and oceanography an outlet to publish more details of their statistical and computational mathematical developments, which will lead to improved models and methods for this important area.
