Charter
Published by the National Weather Association, the Journal of Operational Meteorology (JOM) covers topics relevant to all aspects of operational meteorology on a range of time and space scales. Suitable topics include new or improved forecasting and warning techniques, verification studies, applications of observations and models to improve forecasts and warnings, and case studies of major weather events. Climatological studies, interdisciplinary studies, and studies documenting education and training practices also will be considered if relevant to operational meteorology. In addition, the Editors welcome submissions that present strategies for the creation and dissemination of forecasts and warnings that maximize the protection of life and property. JOM is a peer-reviewed, all-electronic journal with an international scope, providing authors with the benefits of economical publication costs and rapid publication following acceptance.
Note: effective 1/1/2016, the JOM has transitioned to an open access journal. As such, all articles, past and present, are now available to all free of charge.

JOM: Colorado Lightning Climatology
A goal of this climatological study is to articulate to operational meteorologists the relationship among thunderstorm activity, terrain-driven flow, and the complex landscape of Colorado. Although the specificity of atmospheric processes operating in Colorado cannot be denied, understanding the thunderstorm regimes outlined in this paper can potentially benefit forecasters in adjacent states or in regions isolated from Colorado altogether. For Continue Reading...
JOM: Gulf of Alaska Cyclone in Daytime Microphysics RGB Imagery
The NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) Center has provided National Weather Service (NWS) Alaska Region forecasters with the experimental Daytime Microphysics (DtMicro) red-green-blue (RGB) product to support forecasting aviation hazards (Berndt et al. 2017), which has become an integral tool in the forecast process. On 11 March 2018, a rapidly deepening cyclone entered the Gulf of Alaska and Continue Reading...
JOM: The Historic 2 April 2017 Louisiana Tornado Outbreak
On 2 April 2017 Louisiana saw one of its largest tornado outbreaks since 1950. The day saw a total of 21 tornadoes, six of which were classified as significant (EF2+). This extreme event resulted in an estimated 4.2 million dollars in damage and two fatalities. A climatology of Louisiana individual tornado days dating back to 1950 ranked this event second Continue Reading...
JOM: Identifying Significant Cognitive Factors for Practicing and Learning Meteorology
Understanding which cognitive factors facilitate meteorology skills is important for meteorology training and education. This study investigated aspects of cognition important to successful completion of meteorology tasks typically provided to student meteorologists. With a sample of 81 participants—spanning the range of experience from undergraduate students to professional meteorologists—we administered two spatial thinking tests, a visuospatial working memory test, a concept Continue Reading...
