The AMS LaTeX template follows AMS style for section numbering, which means that subsections will be defined only by a letter/number and will not include the higher-level section/subsection number/letter (i.e., a. Subsection title and not 1.a. Subsection title).

If you are referencing sections within running text, you must include reference commands for both the section and the subsection, e.g.:

"as seen in section \ref{section1}\ref{subsection1a}."
which will result in
"as seen in section 1a."

Cross-referencing labels cannot be used for appendix sections as the numbering will be incorrect. Please use
plain text for appendix section callouts within the text of the paper.

 Note: If you are using the ametsoc.cls file, the “rotating” package is already included.

• In order to lay out a table in landscape, you need to add the “rotating” package (\usepackage{rotating}) and then create the table using the “sidewaystable” environment instead of the “table” environment (e.g., \begin{sidewaystable} instead of \begin{table}).
• In order to lay out a figure in landscape, you need to add the “rotating” package (\usepackage{rotating}) and then create the table using the “sidewaysfigure” environment instead of the “figure” environment (e.g., \begin{sidewaysfigure} instead of \begin{figure}).
• You must also add the endfloat.cfg file to the folder in which your LaTeX document is located. This file is necessary so that the endfloat package will recognize any landscape tables or figures. 

You must add the endfloat.cfg file to the folder in which your LaTeX document is located. This file is necessary so that the endfloat package will recognize any landscape tables or figures.

• You may apply commands such as \small or \footnotesize to make your caption or table font smaller and thus shrink the size of your caption/table. As long as the text is readable, it is fine to have smaller text.
• To split your caption and table across two pages, enclose each in separate table commands, as shown below:

\begin{table}[t]
\caption{Table caption here.}\label{table1}
\end{table}
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
. . . .
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

• Note that the longtable command conflicts with endfloat, so you should avoid using longtable if possible.
• If your table cannot be shrunk down to fit on one page, you may treat it as separate tables in order to break it across pages without using the longtable command, as shown below:

\begin{table}[t]
\caption{Table caption here.}\label{table1}
\begin{tabular}{lccc}
. . . .
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
 

\begin{table*}

\begin{tabular}{lccc}

. . . .

\end{tabular}

\end{table*}

• If you are using the ametsoc.cls or ametsocV5.cls file, special commands are needed to manually change the numbering to ensure that each appendix figure or table is numbered as part of the respective appendix and not as a continuation of the main paper. Use the command \appendcaption{} instead of the usual \caption{} to adjust the numbering; e.g., for Table A1, you would use the command \appendcaption{A1}.
   
• Note that the normal \ref{} command cannot be used to cite appendixes or appendix figures or tables, as the numbering will be incorrect. Callouts for appendixes and appendix figures or tables in the text will need to be written out as plain text, e.g., Appendix A, Fig. A1, Table A1. [This does not apply to appendix equations, for which the normal \ref{} commands can be used.]

The appendix figures and tables need to be physically placed at the end of the .tex document with the other figures and tables (instead of with the appendix text) in the order that they should appear (i.e., main text tables first, then appendix tables, then main text figures, then appendix figures).

The AMS LaTeX template reserves footnote symbols on the title page for special affiliations or footnotes (such as a current affiliation or a "retired" footnote), so for clarity during submission, we prefer that that authors and affiliations are grouped as shown in the LaTeX template, even if the result is lengthy or repetitious.

Multiple affiliations for the same author should all be included in the \affiliation or \extraaffil commands, separated by a comma and the word "and".

Author order should be maintained, but if two or more consecutive authors have the same affiliation(s), the author names can be grouped together in the same \author or \extraauthor command.

Examples:

\author{J. Smith}

\affiliation{Physical Sciences Division, NOAA/ESRL, and CIRES, Boulder, Colorado}

\extraauthor{L. Wang}

\extraaffil{Physical Oceanography Laboratory/CIMST, and Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and Climate Laboratory, Ocean University of China, and Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Qingdao, China, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California}

\extraauthor{A. Brown and C. Green}

\extraaffil{Physical Sciences Division, NOAA/ESRL, and CIRES, Boulder, Colorado}

\extraauthor{C. Zhu}

\extraaffil{Physical Oceanography Laboratory/CIMST, and Ocean-Atmosphere Interaction and Climate Laboratory, Ocean University of China, and Qingdao National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology, Qingdao, China}

• Make sure that EM’s item type for all figures is set to “Rendered Figure.”
• Remove all directory paths to figure files (including the current directory “./”) in your .tex file.
• If you have \newpage, \pagebreak, \clearpage, \eject, or similar commands before the figures and/or tables in the .tex file, they should be removed. Endfloat (which forces the figures and tables to the end of the PDF) seems to conflict with these commands.

• This error was caused by blank spaces before \begin{table} and \end{table} commands, which conflict with endfloat.
