I submitted a manuscript in "Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences" (AMS Journal) and after 2 months I received a decision of "Major Revision". Three reviewers were invited for this.
I revised the manuscript thoroughly based on the comments received and then sent it back on 2nd August 2017. It has been since, the "Online Status" is "Under Review". I inquired about this to the Editorial Office and came to know that the manuscript actually had gone to four reviewers (one more than the last time) and out of those only one review has been returned. They expect by mid-September they will receive the other reviews.
It is a very important paper for my career progression and I must say I am pretty scared and also anxious. Why the paper has gone to more reviewers than the last time and does that mean, Editor believes the paper has to be rejected? I would really appreciate if the experts here can help me out with this.
