The UCAR Communications Style Guide is compiled by the UCAR Communications office for our own use in editing publications. It reflects style decisions made over the course of many years, but is constantly updated and expanded. Others in the institution are not compelled to follow it, but the UC Style Guide may prove useful to anyone in UCAR/NCAR/UOP for advice on style matters.
Our primary reference is The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th ed.; our second reference is the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. Cases not found in either or exceptions to their recommendations are recorded in the UC Style Guide. When a meteorological term does not appear in American Heritage, we refer to the American Meteorological Society's Glossary of Meteorology, 2nd ed.
For style of professional journals, refer to the requirements of the journal to which you are making a submission. We've compiled an eclectic mix of links to online references that may also prove useful.
