Front Material

Before the main body of the text, some information about the manuscript and paper must be given. This information may actually be printed at the end of the article, depending on which option has been selected, but it is always entered at the start, before \begin{document}.
\received{date_received}
\revised{date_revised}
\accepted{date_accepted}
These commands enter the relevant dates, which are only meaningful for the camera-ready copy. They will be communicated to the author by the editor.

\journalid{vol}{journal_date}
\articleid{start_page}{end_page}
\paperid{manuscript_id}
Again, this information will be communicated to the author by the editor. (It seems that at the moment the first two do not really do anything at all, but may be provided for the future when AGU dispenses with cutting and pasting and goes to true camera-ready production.)

\cpright{type}{year}
\ccc{code}
These enter copyright information, for which code will be communicated to the author. The type is one of
AGU
for AGU copyright
Crown
for (Commonwealth) government copyright
PD
for public domain (no copyright)

\lefthead{authors}
\righthead{short_title}
These commands permit text for the running heads to be included. For the camera-ready copy, they are (currently) printed out so many times at the end (later cutting and pasting!) but with aguplus, they will be added at the top of each page of the preprint.

\slugcomment{text}
With this command, the author may include his own text to be printed at the top of the preprint title page, such as ``This article is to appear in ....''

The information that is printed at the end of the camera-ready copy comes after the list of references, and the output is part of that command. If there are no references, then the information must be forced out with the command

\forcesluginfo
following the main text.
