Abstract: This study was designed to evaluate the global scientific output of simulation research in
“meteorology and atmospheric sciences” for the past 16 years and to assess the characteristics of
the atmospheric simulation research patterns, tendencies and methods in the papers, from leading
countries and institutes. Data were based on the online version of Science Citation Index, Web of
Science from 1992 to 2007. Articles referring to atmospheric simulation were assessed by
exponential regression fitting the trend of publication outputs with r(2) = 0.9996, distribution of
source countries, source institutes, source titles, author keywords, and keywords plus, and the
four most cited articles in these years. By synthetic analysis of the three kinds of keywords, it
was concluded that atmospheric simulation research related to “ozone”, “climate”, “circulation”,
“transport”, “parameterization” and “assimilation” will be foci of atmospheric simulation
research in the 21(st) century.
Author Keywords: atmospheric simulation; scientometrics; SCI; research trend; exponential model
KeyWords Plus: Largest US Cities; Air-Quality; Modeling System; United-States;
Chemical-Characterization; Acid Deposition; Forecast Model; Climate-Change; Pollution;
Aerosol
