This document was created using \LaTeX\, and demonstrates how to use the \LaTeX\ template when submitting a manuscript to the AMS. The following sections will outline the guidelines and formatting for text, math, figures, and tables while using \LaTeX\/. A more thorough review of all manuscript requirements can be found in the AMS Authors' Guide (available online at \url{www.ametsoc.org/PUBS/Authorsguide/html_vs/index.html}). An attempt to compile amspaper.tex should be made before using the template. The files have been tested on a Mandriva 10.2 Limited Edition Linux distribution (available online at \url{http://www.mandriva.com}) using \TeX\ Live 2007 (available online at \url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/}) and the now obsolete tetex-3.0-8, and on Windows XP using ProTeXt (available online at \url{http://www.tug.org/protext}), which is based on MiKTex. Other distributions of\\ Linux/Unix, Windows, and \LaTeX\ may be acceptable. Feedback and questions should be sent to latex@ametsoc.org. Authors may use the empty template blank\_template.tex to begin their paper. A valuable source of \LaTeX\ information are the \textit{Tex Frequently Asked Questions} available at numerous Web sites (available online at \url{faq.tug.org}). \section{Formatting text and sections} The text should be divided into sections, each with a separate heading and consecutive numbering. Note, however, that single secondary, tertiary, and quaternary sections remain unnumbered. Each section heading should be placed on a separate line using the appropriate \LaTeX\ commands. For more detailed information on different sections and their formatting see the Authors' Guide. \subsection*{Secondary headings} %Use \subsection{} for multiple, and \subsection*{} for single. Secondary headings labeled with letters are formatted using the $\backslash$subsection$*$ or $\backslash$subsection command for single (as in this case) or multiple secondary sections, respectively. \subsubsection*{Tertiary headings} %Use \subsubsection{} for multiple, and \subsubsection*{} for single. Tertiary headings are formatted using the $\backslash$subsubsection$*$ or $\backslash$subsubsection command. \paragraph*{Quaternary headings} %Use \paragraph{} for multiple, and \paragraph*{} for single. Quaternary headings are formatted using the $\backslash$paragraph$*$ or $\backslash$paragraph command. \section{Citations} Citations to standard references in text should consist of the name of the author and the year of publication, for example, \cite{Becker+Schmitz2003} or \citep{Becker+Schmitz2003} using the appropriate $\backslash$cite\ or $\backslash$citep commands, respectively. A variety of citation formats can be used with the natbib package. Refer to documentation on the natbib package for more information on the basic citation commands. References should be entered in the references.bib file located in the bibliography subdirectory. For a thorough discussion of how to enter references into the references.bib database file following AMS style please refer to the AMS\_references.pdf document included in this package. \section{Formatting math} The following sections will outline the basic formatting rules for mathematical symbols and units. In addition, a review of the amspaper.tex file will show how this is done with the use of \LaTeX\ commands. The AMS template provides the American Mathematical Society math, font, symbol, and boldface packages for use in math mode. \subsection{Mathematical symbols} Symbols must be of the same font style both in text discussion and in displayed equations or terms (and figures should be prepared to match). Scalar single character symbols are set italic, Greek, or script. Examples are $u$, $L$ [note that $\upsilon$ (Greek upsilon) is used instead of \textit{v} (italic ``vee'') to avoid confusion with $\nu$ (Greek nu) often used for viscosity; this is handled automatically when in \LaTeX\ math mode], $w$, $x$, $y$, $z$, $f$, $g$, $r$, indices such as $i$ or $j$, and constants such as $C_D$, $k$, or $K$. Multiple character scalar variables, abbreviations, nondimensional numbers, and acronyms for variables are set regular nonitalic: $\mathrm{LWC}$, $\mathrm{Re}$, $\mathrm{Ro}$, $\mathrm{BT}$, $\mathrm{abs}$, $\mathrm{obs}$, $\mathrm{max}$, $\mathrm{min}$, $\mathrm{Re}$/$\mathrm{Im}$ (real/imaginary), etc. For vectors, use boldface nonitalic Times Roman as in $\mathbf{V}$, $\mathbf{v}$, or $\mathbf{x}$, and $\mathbf{i}$, $\mathbf{j}$, and $\mathbf{k}$ unit vectors. Do not use the \LaTeX\ $\backslash$vec command to denote vectors. For matrix notation use nonitalic boldface Arial (or Sans Serif) font as in $\bm{\mathsf{A}}$, $\bm{\mathsf{B}}$, or $\bm{\mathsf{M}}$. All mathematical operator abbreviations/acronyms are set lowercase regular Roman font, except $O$ (on the order of): $\sin$, $\cos$, $\tan$, $\tanh$, $\mathrm{cov}$, $\Pr$ (for probability; note same as Prandtl number), $\mathrm{const}$ (for constant), $\mathrm{c.c.}$ (complex conjugate). \subsection{Units} Units are always set on a single line with a space separating the denominator, which is set with a superscript $-1$, $-2$, and so on, rather than using a slash for ``per.'' Examples are g kg$^{-1}$ , m$^2$ s$^{-1}$ , W m$^{-2}$ , g m$^{-3}$ , and m s$^{-1}$ (note that ms$^{-1}$ is the unit for ``per millisecond''). \subsection{Equations} Brief equations or terms set inline in text must be set as a single line expression because page proofs are not double spaced, for example, $\rho^{-1}p/x$ or $(1/{\rho})p/x$ or $(a-b)/(c+d)$; that is, use a superscript $-1$ for the denominator. In case of a more complicated term or equation, it should be set as an unnumbered display equation, such as \begin{displaymath} x=\frac{2b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2c}. \end{displaymath} Otherwise, numbered display equations can be entered using the appropriate $\backslash$equation command, such as \begin{equation} x=\frac{2b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2c}. \end{equation} Lists of equations are punctuated as written English, and commas, semicolons, and periods are placed where appropriate. Conjunctions such as ``and,'' ``while,'' ``when,'' or ``for'' are also typically placed before the final element in a mathematical phrase, as befits the intended mathematical meaning. \section{Figures and tables} \subsection{Figures} Detailed information about figures can be found both in the Authors' Guide and through links on the AMS Author Upload Web page (available online at \url{http://www.ametsoc.org/au_upload/index.cfm}). The insertion of a sample figure (Fig. \ref{f1}) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % FIGURES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{figure}[t] \noindent\includegraphics[width=19pc,angle=0]{./figures/figure01.eps}\\ \caption{Enter the caption for your figure here. Repeat as necessary for each of your figures. Create a figures directory and place all figures in that directory. Figure from Houghton et al. (2001).}\label{f1} \end{figure} and caption is shown above. Standard figure sizes are 19 (one column), 27, 30, 33 (two columns), 36, and 39 picas. Authors should attempt to size their figures appropriately. At this time our press can accept only eps and TIFF figures. Because pdfTeX does not support the use of either of these figure types authors should not attempt to build their PDF file using this driver. The dvips driver does support the use of eps files, but not TIFF files. Therefore, authors should use eps figure files when using this template. \subsection{Tables} Each table must be numbered, provided with a caption, and mentioned specifically in the text. Each table should be in double-spaced format on a separate page, with an explanatory caption typed above the table on the same page. All tables should be attached at the end of the manuscript, following the figure legends. See section 11 of the Authors' Guide for more information on the proper preparation of tables. See above for the formatting of a sample table (Table \ref{t1}). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % TABLES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \begin{table}[t] \caption{This is a sample table caption and table layout.

In general, acknowledge only direct help in writing or research. Financial support (e.g., grant numbers) for the work done, or for an author, or for the laboratory where the work was performed is best acknowledged here rather than as footnotes to the title or to an author's name. Contribution numbers (if the work has been published by the author's institution or organization) should be included on the title page, not in the acknowledgments. \end{acknowledgment} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % APPENDICES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \ifthenelse{\boolean{dc}} {} {\clearpage} \begin{appendix}[A]% Use \begin{appendix} and not \begin{appendix}[A] for only one appendix. \section*{\begin{center}Appendix Title Is Entered Here\end{center}} \subsection*{Appendix section} The AMS template allows authors to format an unlimited number of appendixes. To format a single appendix, use the $\backslash$appendix command with no additional argument. Otherwise, add the appropriate one-letter argument to the $\backslash$appendix command (e.g. $\backslash$appendix[A], $\backslash$appendix[B], $\backslash$appendix[C], etc.) corresponding to the appropriate appendix. The title of the appendix can formatted using the $\backslash$section* command as shown above (which also provides code for centering). The $\backslash$subsection, $\backslash$subsubection, and $\backslash$paragraph commands are used to create sections within the appendix. Equations are automatically numbered appropriately for each appendix. Here is an example of the first equation in appendix A, automatically labeled (\ref{eq:1}), \begin{equation} \label{eq:1} x=\frac{2b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2c}. \end{equation} \end{appendix} \ifthenelse{\boolean{dc}} {} {\clearpage} \begin{appendix}[B] \section*{\begin{center}File structure of the AMS \LaTeX\ Package\end{center}} \subsection*{AMS \LaTeX\ files} You will be provided with a tarred, zipped \LaTeX\ package containing eleven files: amspaper.tex, blank\_template.tex, ametsoc.sty, ametsoc2col.sty, amspaper.pdf, amspaper2col.pdf, figure01.eps, AMS\_references.pdf, ametsoc.bst, database.bib, and references.bib. Two subdirectories will be created when you untar the package: figures and bibliography. The figures directory will contain the sample figure file figure01.eps. This directory should be used to store all your figure files. The bibliography directory will contain the sample bibliography files database.bib and references.bib. You should alter references.bib with your own bibliography information. Refer to the AMS\_references.pdf file included in this package for information on how to properly populate the references.bib file. The files ametsoc.sty and ametsoc2col.sty are the two style files. The file ametsoc.sty generates a PDF that follows all AMS guidelines for submission and peer review. The file ametsoc2col.sty can be used to generate a PDF that closely follows the layout of an AMS journal page, including single spacing and two columns. This journal style PDF is only for the author's personal use, and any papers submitted in this style will not be accepted. Always use the ametsoc.sty when generating a PDF for submission to the AMS. The file ametsoc.bst is the bibliography style file. The file amspaper.tex contains the \LaTeX\ code for this sample file. The resulting PDF can be seen in either amspaper.pdf or amspaper2col.pdf, depending on the which style file is used. The file blank\_template.tex provides a basic blank template with some section headings for authors to more easily enter their manuscript into. Questions and feedback concerning the use of the AMS \LaTeX\ files should be directed to latex@ametsoc.org. \end{appendix} \ifthenelse{\boolean{dc}} {} {\clearpage} \begin{appendix}[C] \section*{\begin{center}How to Compile the \LaTeX\ Files and Create a PDF\end{center}} \subsection{Compilation} There are a variety of different methods and programs that will create a final PDF from your \LaTeX\ document. Here, the basic commands for one method of creating a final PDF are presented. You can compile your \LaTeX\ files and build the dvi file with the following commands on a Linux-/Unix-based system: % %Use "enumeration" lists for numbered lists, which must use lower case roman numerals. \begin{enumerate} \item latex filename.tex (e.g., latex amspaper.tex) \item bibtex filename (e.g., bibtex amspaper). Note that the .tex extension is not included in the filename \item latex filename.tex (e.g., latex amspaper.tex) \item latex filename.tex (e.g., latex amspaper.tex). This command is repeated twice to clean up any reference dependencies. \end{enumerate} This will create a dvi file (e.g., amspaper.dvi). You can view the dvi file using a dvi file viewer, such as xdvi, kdvi, or some similar program. Your PDF will be created from the dvi file, so do not delete this file. \subsection{Creating the PDF} The final PDF can be created from the dvi file using the following two commands on a Linux-/Unix-based system: \begin{itemize} % Use "itemize" lists for unnumbered lists, but bullets are not used. \item[]{dvips filename.dvi -o filename.ps (e.g., dvips amspaper.dvi -o amspaper.ps), which converts the dvi file to a postscript file that will be converted to the final PDF; and} \item[]{ps2pdf14 filename.ps (e.g., ps2pdf14 amspaper.ps), which creates the final PDF file (amspaper.pdf). The ``14'' at the end of the ps2pdf14 command will generate a PDF compatible with Acrobat Reader, version 5 and later. It may be replaced with ps2pdf13 or ps2pdf, which will generate PDFs compatible with Acrobat Reader, version 4 or 3 and later, respectively.} \end{itemize} \subsection{Other software} There is a variety of software that can be used to edit .tex files and build a PDF. The AMS does not support \LaTeX\/-related WYSIWYG software, such as Scientific Workplace, or WYSIWYM software, such as LyX. \TeX\ Live (available online at \url{http://www.tug.org/texlive/}) is recommended for users needing an up-to-date \LaTeX\ distribution with software that includes an editor and the ability to automatically generate a PDF. \end{appendix} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % REFERENCES %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % Create a bibliography directory and place your .bib file there. \ifthenelse{\boolean{dc}} {} {\clearpage} \bibliographystyle{ametsoc} \bibliography{./bibliography/references} \end{document} %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % END OF TEMPLATE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
