Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We encourage the scientific community to contribute to the Special Issue “Ocean–Atmosphere Interactions Across Spatial and Temporal Scales.” The oceans play a fundamental role in shaping the weather and climate that affect the continents of our planet. This Special Issue, therefore, aims to bring together recent advances in the understanding of ocean–atmosphere interaction and coupling across multiple scales. It particularly emphasizes processes operating across micro-, meso-, regional, and large scales, as well as timescale variability from daily to seasonal and broader temporal ranges. A more comprehensive understanding of the exchanges between the atmospheric and oceanic boundary layers is essential. Processes arising from ocean–atmosphere interaction, including cyclones, hurricanes, atmospheric rivers, and convergence zones, can have significant impacts on continental regions, leading to floods, landslides, and substantial socioeconomic losses.
We welcome submissions from observational, remote sensing, modeling, and theoretical perspectives that deepen our understanding of ocean–atmosphere dynamics across different scales, as well as their impact on climate variability. Artificial intelligence is also playing an increasingly important role in both observational and numerical studies, offering new capabilities for pattern recognition, data analysis, and the investigation of complex ocean–atmosphere processes across spatial and temporal scales. Contributions that explore multiscale variability, air–sea interaction or coupling, and the processes linking local interactions to broader weather and climatic impacts are especially encouraged. Through this Special Issue, we hope to foster a comprehensive view of the coupled ocean–atmosphere system and its role in shaping weather and climate variability, as well as in simulating and forecasting them.

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.
