Outgoing and Incoming MWR Editors

At the end of 2008, we will retire two editors from Monthly Weather Review. I am very sad to see Jim Doyle and Nolan Atkins go. Both have been remarkable editors during their years of service. Nolan has served for three years, and Jim has served for five years.

In return, MWR will get two new editors.

Todd Ringler is a great match for the increasing numbers of papers on climate models and weather that we get at MWR. In addition, he has expertise in numerical methods for numerical weather and climate prediction models. He works for the Climate, Ocean, and Sea Ice Modeling Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory. His web page is http://public.lanl.gov/ringler/ringler.html.

To accommodate the growing number of tropical and large-scale circulation submissions, I am pleased to announce that Matt Wheeler will be joining us. Matt is from the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, a partnership between the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO in Melbourne. To learn more about Matt and his scientific expertise, his web page is http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/clfor/cfstaff/matw.htm.

Please welcome these new editors to our editorial board.
