New American Meteorological Society style
I've added the American Meteorological Society style conventions to the repository. It can be found at:

It's mostly based on the very similar "Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press". Discussion of the development can be found at

- you should delete all the (devs) in the name of the style - zotero automatically adds one.
"atmospheric-science" is not a style category
You can find a complete list in the csl schmema here
http://xbiblio.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xbiblio/csl/schema/tags/0.8/csl.rnc
(search for astronomy to find the list).
Are you still interested in getting the p. vs. nothing right? It is possible and not hugely complicated.
I'm somewhat interest in the p/no p, but it's a fairly low priority.
A higher priority would be figuring out the bibliographical entries for online journals. For example, something like:
Zhang, C., 2005: Madden–Julian oscillation. Rev. Geophys., 43, RG2003, doi:10.11029/2004RG000158.
I'm not really sure what field RG2003 even corresponds to.
didn't see that in the styleguide.
Maybe with something like if is-numeric="page" to distinguish it from regular page numbers or so?

It seems like it should be possible, I just can't quite make out how to implement it.
If you'll have "et al." in the bibliography and "and Coauthors" in the bibliography that won't be possible.
If this lists the first couple and the last author as suggested by APA now that isn't possible at the moment either.
But the bibliography should look like:
Jones, A. B., and Coauthors, 1999: .....
Currently, it is
Jones, A. B., et al., 1999: .....
"and Coauthors" is just like an et al. term - you can define that in the terms section of the style - but you can only define it once - so it's either "et al." for the entire document or "and Coauthors" for the entire document.
I have to say this is a particularly moronic citation rule (which obviously isn't your fault...)- why on earth would anyone want a citation in the bibliography to look different than in the text? You obviously expect your readers to know what et al means. Once again I'm left to wonder - who comes up with these things?
sigh.
It seems like the important stuff works with this style now, and it's probably good enough for now.
Thanks for your help!
A word of caution, the Zotero can easily import citations from the AMS site, but the citations that the AMS provides don't meet their own standards! They capitalize the first letter of every word in the title, and they fail to abbreviate the journal names. These are relatively easy (though annoying) fixes for the user.
I only see two outstanding issues:
1) Allowing "and Coauthors" in the bibliography. Currently, all authors are listed and it is up to the user (or more likely the copy editor) to trim sources that have more than eight authors.
2) Some initials should be hyphenated (e.g., C.-C. Chang). Currently, Zotero will display only the first initial (C. Chang). The workaround I use is to add a space after the hyphen in the name field so that it displays as "C. C. Chang", figuring that it is more important to get both initials than the hyphen.
Both of these are fairly minor issues, and will have to wait for future releases of CSL.
In bibliography, for a chapter in a book, zotero prints page number before publisher, but according to AMS style, page number to be after publisher. It also does not add "Eds" before publisher name.
See the example below from AMS recommended style,
Chapter of a Book
Author(s), publication year: Chapter title. Book Title (italic), Editor(s), Publisher, page
range.
Kauranne, T., 1990: An introduction to parallel processing in meteorology. The Dawn of Massively Parallel Processing in Meteorology, G. R. Hoffman and D. K. Maretis, Eds., Springer-
Verlag, 3–20.
Thanks.
I realized one more problem with Zotero. Suppose a author name is "last name IV". In AMS style, in bibliography, it has to appear as "last name IV" but while citing in the document, it has to just appear as "last name" without IV added to it.
But currently, zotero inputs as "last name IV" in main text while citing the reference. Could you please let me know if there is a way to fix this. Thanks.

On my computer, it appears to be doing the "Eds." correctly already. Please verify that is the case for you too.
Let me know if I've broken anything else in the process. I did change it from double space to single space, as that makes more sense to me.
As someone who is a "Last Name III", I know that many people just omit the suffix in the references. It'd be nice if Zotero could handle it though.
<bibliography hanging-indent="true" et-al-min="11" et-al-use-first="7" subsequent-author-substitute="———" entry-spacing="0">
but it's not doing it. I've checked my author names over and over (it's happening on every occasion of multiple sources which share a first author), and I'm positive that they are indeed identical, so this should be working. See a picture of my problem here, with the author problem being with "Ek, M. B."

and let us know which of them (presumably one of the last two) conforms with what AMS requires (and does in practice).

which looks like it's incorrect, but I'm a bit confused that Mendeley would use a different style entirely.
References should be ordered alphabetically by the last name of the first author. When there is more than one reference by the same first author, use the following sequence to order them: all singly authored papers first, arranged chronologically by year of publication; followed by papers authored by that first author with only one coauthor, chronologically by year; followed by papers authored by that first author with two or more coauthors, chronologically by year. Do not use a 2-em line to denote repeat authors—they will be added at typesetting stage by our press.
Sometimes the repeated authors are still spelled out, other times they are replaced by "true", but never with a dash.
