Aerosol particles play a central role in the composition and radiation budget of the atmosphere. The aerosol distribution on global and regional scales is dependent on emission, chemical processing, removal and horizontal–vertical transport, and may significantly affect the local and region...

Air pollution control encompasses a range of methods used to mitigate the adverse effects on the environment caused by the release of harmful substances. A control strategy refers to a collection of specific techniques and actions that are identified and implemented with the aim of reducing air p...

Air quality has become one of the greatest environmental issues of modern times, following improved access to fresh water in many parts of the world. Each year, both outdoor and indoor air pollution are thought to contribute to millions of premature deaths worldwide. Despite increased awareness o...

The association between air quality and health is one of the most controversial topics in current research. Air pollution is considered one of the leading environmental risk factors for human health globally, especially with regard to ambient fine particular matter (PM2.5), ozone, and some emergi...

This section aims to provide interdisciplinary scientific studies that devoted to topics on advanced techniques, instruments, and models for assessing the atmosphere and climate. In addition to this, it will also include topics on artificial intelligence, machine learning, data sci...

Biometeorology and Bioclimatology deals with the interactions between atmospheric conditions and living organisms (humans, vegetation, and animals) in an interdisciplinary manner, as well as on how to inform, warn, respond to, and mitigate adverse effects resulting from activities and climate cha...

Biosphere/Hydrosphere/Land–Atmosphere interactions play a crucial role in weather and climate. Surface water and energy exchange fluxes drive the diurnal and seasonal dynamics of the atmospheric boundary layer, on both local and regional scales. Surface–atmosphere trace gas exchange f...

Climatology focuses on the long-term evolution of processes and phenomena within the atmosphere. The Section’s scope encompasses past (palaeo) and present-day climates, as well as future predictions (seasonal–decadal) and projections. The impact and attribution of external climate dri...

This Section will be devoted to topics that remain at the heart of weather research, including interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary studies devoted to basic and applied research across a broad range of time and space scales. The Editorial Board will review all manuscripts submitted for publica...

The Planetary Atmospheres section broadly includes studies involving the atmospheres of solar-system planets and moons (with Earth included in comparative planetology studies), and the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. For solid-surface (terrestrial) planets, the regional scope spans from the pl...

The upper atmosphere is one of the most sensitive shells embracing our planet. It is subject to impacts from both above (the Sun and magnetosphere) and below (tropospheric disturbances, earthquakes, and volcano eruptions). Its reactions to these impacts can be used for diagnostics of our environm...
