Research about Permafrost–Atmosphere Interactions

Dear Colleagues,

Permafrost is a result of the exchange and development of material and energy between the Earth and the atmosphere. On one hand, changes in the atmosphere can lead to changes in permafrost, and on the other hand, changes in permafrost can also have an impact on the climate system. The study of the mutual feedback mechanism between permafrost and the atmosphere is crucial for understanding the global balance of nature, hydrological processes, material and energy exchange, and other related fields.

Current research has made significant advancements in using mathematical modeling tools to predict the effects of atmospheric changes on permafrost. However, there are a limited number of researchers studying the feedback mechanism of permafrost changes on the atmosphere, and even fewer studying the mutual feedback mechanism between the two. This Special Issue aims to publish research that combines these three aspects. We encourage the submission of papers that focus on new technologies and methods, as well as the application of traditional technologies in innovative ways, to study the mutual feedback mechanism between permafrost and the atmosphere. The submission content for this Special Issue can include modeling and predicting the correlation between permafrost and the atmosphere using innovative mathematical techniques, as well as new observation results obtained from ground or spatial measurement data analysis.

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-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.
