理論氣候學和應用氣候學提供了世界各地在氣候、大氣和氣象學方面研究的最新和最重要的進展。與它的姐妹期刊《氣象學和大氣物理學》一起，它們是氣象、地球物理和生物氣候學檔案A系列和b系列的延續。這些期刊最初是由達沃斯的W. Moerikhofer和維也納的F. Steinhauser于1949年創辦的。理論氣候學和應用氣候學包括氣候模型、氣候變化和氣候預測、微至中氣候、農業和森林氣象中的應用氣象學、生物氣象學、建筑氣象學和與生物圈有關的大氣輻射問題;人為及天然氣溶膠或氣體微量成分的影響;氣象測量的硬件和軟件要素，包括遙感技術，以及當前感興趣的其他主題。

Theoretical and Applied Climatology offers the latest and most significant developments from studies around the world in climate, atmosphere and meteorology. Along with its sister journal Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics, they are continuations of Archives for Meteorology, Geophysics and Bioclimatology, Series A and B. These journals were originally founded in 1949 by W. Moerikhofer, of Davos, and F. Steinhauser, of Vienna.Theoretical and Applied Climatology covers climate modeling, climatic changes and climate forecasting, micro- to mesoclimate, applied meteorology as in agro- and forestmeteorology, biometeorology, building meteorology and atmospheric radiation problems as they relate to the biosphere; effects of anthropogenic and natural aerosols or gaseous trace constituents; hardware and software elements of meteorological measurements, including techniques of remote sensing, among other topics of current interest.
