Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Amazon region plays a crucial role in the global climate system, as it is a significant source of atmospheric water vapor and a large carbon sink. The interaction between the atmosphere and the land surface in this region is highly complex and dynamic, influenced by a range of factors, including vegetation cover, soil moisture, and atmospheric circulation patterns.
This Special Issue brings together the latest research on atmosphere–land interactions over the Amazon, focusing on the complex interplay between the atmosphere and the land surface. The contributions in this Special Issue cover a wide range of topics, including the role of land use change on atmospheric dynamics, the impacts of climate variability on the water and energy cycles of the region, and the influence of atmospheric circulation patterns on vegetation growth and carbon uptake.
The research presented in this Special Issue showcases the latest advances in our understanding of the complex dynamics of the Amazon region, highlighting the critical role of atmosphere–land interactions in shaping the climate and ecosystems of this region. We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers working to address the challenges of climate change and environmental sustainability in this vital region.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
