Publications Identification of Affiliations

General principles

  • NOAA should not be spelled out, unless required by the journal.
  • ESRL, CIRES, CIRA, CU, and CSU should always be spelled out.
  • NOAA in front of ESRL and as part of the ESRL name is preferred.
  • Contractor affiliations are optional, but should be spelled out if used.
  • Division name, spelled out only, is optional and should be after ESRL.
  • Papers with multiple ESRL authors should use a consistent approach.
