| Zusammenfassung |
This is the first issue of a new scientific publication of the
European Geophysical Society, which will serve as the official
organ of the Section on Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics.
At the General Assembly in Strasbourg, 1987, this Section started
with a special Joint Symposium on "Computer Simulations in Fluid
Dynamics - Earth, Atmosphere and Space Plasmas" with 8 contributions.
This was followed, a year later in Bologna, by a Joint Symposium
entitled "Chaos and Turbulence in Geophysics" with 20 contributions.
Since then the group of "nonlinear" scientists within the EGS has grown
rapidly in size and in the quality of its contributions presented at
the General Assemblies of the Society. Nowadays the programme of this
Section normally includes 10 or more independent sessions with a total
of some 250-300 papers. This development encouraged the officers and
the members of the Section to search for a journal of their own,
rather than to distribute their papers in the "classical" journals
ranging from solid Earth geophysics to planetary and space sciences.
Originally, the Society was asked to join an already existing
publication in the field of nonlinear sciences. After almost two
years of negotiations with the editors and the publishers of the
most accepted journals in the field, the Section members decided
differently; namely to launch their own journal, preferentially
with a well known European publisher. However, in view of the
general decrease in financial support for science and the generally
increasing overheads of the publishers, it was decided that the
new journal should be published by the Society itself, as an
independent publication owned and run only by the EGS.
The Society and the editors of this new journal are pleased to
offer a modern, international, interdisciplinary and refereed
publication to a young and growing generation of geophysicists
with no page charges and fast publication on a "first come - first published" basis.
The subscription rates are modest both for libraries and for members of the
Society.
We hope that scientists from other disciplines will also enjoy
reading this journal and that publishing in it will be rewarding
for the authors.
With best wishes,
Dr. Arne K. Richter
