I've been trying to browse back numbers of "Weather" via my membership of the Royal Met Soc but there are problems. The website is an ill-thought-out shambles. When you do finally stop going round in circles you land up meeting brick walls and going down various cul-de-sacs on the Wiley website to whom the R Met S has outsourced *all* its publications. It appears to be impossible to gain access to any publication despite the R Met S's assertion that this is free to Members. What is "free" is usually just the title of an article. This is most dishonest and I am considering not renewing my membership despite having been a member (Associate Fellow) for 37 years.
Has anyone here had similar problems?

Tudor Hughes.


Yes, it is a bit long winded Tudor.

Here is the order to do things:

Login as member on the RMetS site.
Click on Publications
Then Journals,
Then on 'Members Access to Journals' (in Orange)

Then Weather
Browse
All issues.

There is a search facility at the top of the page.

Len


Thanks, Len. I have tried all that as I did last night. On pressing the orange button "Members access to journals" a page comes up which says "Access Denied". In the body of the text below the button is a link to Back Files which produces exactly the same result - access denied. I tried going directly to Weather, Browse, All issues and found there was a small orange indicator to "login". This takes you back to the original page where you can have another go at wasting your time and so ad infinitum.
All this despite a green panel that came up (somewhere or other) and explicitly stated that I was successfully logged in. Perhaps I'm persona non grata, for reasons that escape me.
Anyway, thanks for your efforts.
