Summary:

"The journal of the German language meteorological organizations, Meteorologische Zeitung, has just announced it will move to full open-access publishing in 2014. Other less well known 'national' open journals are Időjárás - Quarterly Journal of the Hungarian Meteorological Service (OMSZ) and the Journal of the Catalan Association of Meteorology Tethys. Also Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography and Tellus B: Chemical and Physical Meteorology have changed to open-access in 2012.   Then we have the IOP journal Environmental Research Letters and the new Elsevier journal Weather and Climate Extremes. Copernicus, the publisher of the European Geophysical Union, has manymore open access journals. The most important ones for meteorologists and climatologists are likely: [1] Climate of the Past (CP) [2] Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (ACP) [3] Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics (NPG) ... Not all open-access journals are good. Jeffrey Beale even keeps a list of predatory publishers and journals ... MDPI is not on the Beale list. In June this year they launched a new journal called Climate and an article in the first issue has already made the first two editors to resign from the Editorial Board because of its low quality standards ... The Directory of Open Access Journals lists 25 journal in the category Meteorology and Climatologyand not all of the above are listed. All in all, quite a nice list of journals to select from. Also for open-access journals you have to select the reputable journals ..."
