Journals:
Some journals are charging
outrageous subscription prices to libraries, and in
some cases even forcing them
into multi-year contractual agreements. Choose
journals which maintain reasonable pricing, for instance:
Journal of Marine Research
($130), Journal of Physical
Oceanography ($426),
Journal of Atmospheric
Sciences ($486), Journal of
Climate ($483)
Annual
Review of Fluid Mechanics ($195), Atmosphere-Ocean
($96),
Quarterly Journal
of the Royal Meteorological Society ($678), Tellus ($300)
