Based on the survey of the domestic organizations in atmospheric sciences and the related areas, as well as the recent papers of international and Chinese journals of atmospheric sciences, a bibliometric analysis on priority areas in atmospheric sciences is made. The study is conducted from 4 different aspects: domestic basis, national research hot issues, international hot issues and domestic demand. The sequence of the distinct atmospheric fields is collated by assigning weight based on various policy preferences. The analysis shows that whether the basic research or the applied research is emphasized, more returns may be obtained by giving priorities to weather modification and the atmospheric physics. When scientific hot topics and the scientific frontiers are focused, we may acquire greater research achievements as climate system and global change, weather dynamics and weather forecast being given priorities. Giving priorities to comprehensive sounding system and atmospheric chemistry may bring more benefits when development demand and the scientific frontiers are stressed. The results provide a basis for better understanding the development situation of atmospheric sciences in china, establishing medium and long term strategies of atmospheric sciences, as well as developing priority strategies for 11th five year plan.
