'Grand Celebration: 50th Anniversary of the Korean Meteorological Society'

摘要

As of January 2014, 50 years have passed since 1965, the time when the Korean Meteorological Society (KMS) published its first volume of the Journal of Korean Meteorological Society (JKMS). The first paper of the volume was "On the Seoul Tornado of September 13, 1964" about the tornado that passed through the suburban Seoul. Here we would like to point out that the copyright of the current Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences (APJAS) has been owned by the KMS for 50 years. Full-fledged efforts for the internationalization of the journal since mid-1990 made the APJAS to be included in the journal list of Thomson Reuters' SCIE (Science Citation Index Expanded) and also in SCOPUS, the Elsevier Bibliographic Database in 2008, indicating the increased awareness and quality of the journal.
