Space Weather requires at initial submission:

  • Continuous line numbering
  • AGU adheres to the common Enabling FAIR data Project guidelines. These specify that by acceptance new data for the paper should be placed into community data repositories. Further guidelines are here.
  • Space Weather will require a Plain Language Summary (PLS) with your submission.  The PLS should be written for a broad audience and should not use language that would be unknown to the general public. For additional information about creating a good summary, please visit http://sharingscience.agu.org/creating-plain-language-summary/.



Welcome to GEMS: AGU's submission system

Space Weather: The International Journal of Research and Applications is devoted to understanding and forecasting space weather. The scope of understanding and forecasting includes: origins, propagation and interactions of solar-produced processes within geospace; interactions in Earth's space-atmosphere interface region produced by disturbances from above and below; influences of cosmic rays on humans, hardware and signals; and comparisons of the these types of interactions and influences with the atmospheres of neighboring planets and Earth's moon. Manuscripts should emphasize impacts on technical systems including telecommunications, transportation, electric power, satellite navigation, avionics/spacecraft design and operations, human spaceflight, and other systems. Manuscripts that describe models or space environment climatology should clearly state how the results can be applied.

Space Weather is a research resource that also provides news and information for space weather professionals.
