Carbon Emission and Transport: Measurement and Simulation (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Carbon Emission and Transport: Measurement and Simulation” (https://www.mdpi.com/si/atmosphere/04Z4LIWTD2).

Carbon is one of the main elements in both natural and anthropogenic environments. Gaseous carbon elements (i.e., carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane (CH₄), and carbon monoxide (CO)) are known to be main greenhouse gases or air pollutants. Hence, the study of their flux (including sources and sinks) or transport (in soil, rivers, or atmosphere) from both natural and anthropogenic sources is essential to better understand regional or global carbon cycles. Here, to improve our scientific knowledge of the carbon cycle via both observation and modeling, we have organized this Special Issue titled “Carbon Emission and Transport: Field Measurement and Model Simulation” in the journal Atmosphere. Any papers related to carbon flux and transport (especially for CO₂, CH₄, and CO) are warmly welcome to be submitted in this Special Issue. Papers can also focus on observations or model simulations, from natural or anthropogenic sources, and can be carried out at the field, city, regional, or even global scale, using field observations, model simulations, meta-analyses, or a combination of the above methods. Regions of interest include (but are not limited to) forests, grassland, rivers, wetlands, waters, and urban areas.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
