Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics exists for the publication of original research papers and short communications, occasional survey articles and conference reports on the fluid mechanics of the earth and planets, including oceans, atmospheres and interiors, and the fluid mechanics of the sun, stars and other astrophysical objects.
 
In addition, their magnetohydrodynamic behaviours are investigated. Experimental, theoretical and numerical studies of rotating, stratified and convecting fluids of general interest to geophysicists and astrophysicists appear. Properly interpreted observational results are also published. 
 
If you have ideas for Special Issues that you would like to appear in Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, please send them to the Journal Editor, Andrew Soward, E-mail: andrew.soward@ncl.ac.uk, and copied to the Managing Editor, Scott Yearsley, E-mail: scott.yearsley@tandf.co.uk.
 
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by independent and expert referees.
 
All peer review is single blind, and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
