Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second volume of the series of publications dedicated to “Novel Techniques for Measuring Greenhouse Gases” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/measuring_greenhouse_gases) published in Atmosphere in 2022.

Currently, most of the world’s major countries and regions have announced their own plans for carbon neutrality. Greenhouse gas (GHG) measurement technology is an integral part of achieving the goal of carbon neutrality. In this new era, the scientific community expects and welcomes new monitoring technologies for quantifying carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) emissions, and for distinguishing between anthropogenic and natural fluxes. This Special Issue calls for papers regarding the developments and applications of novel GHG measurement techniques, including but not limited to Lidar, FTIR, AirCore, and low-cost miniaturized equipment, etc. We are also keen to see advances in greenhouse gas monitoring methodologies, especially with regard to quantifications of methane emissions, obtaining high-resolution CO2 fluxes with urban scale, measurements of point CO2 sources, and monitoring natural CO2/CH4 fluxes.

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 2000 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.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the air quality levels of Nanyang city according to Chinese air quality standards. Therefore, in this study, fine particulate matter (PM2.5), coarse particulate matter (PM10), and total suspended particulate (TSP) were analyzed from 19 November 2021 to 19 March 2022 in Nanyang city. The results show that the average concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and TSP were 106.47 µg/m3, 137.32 µg/m3, and 283.40 µg/m3, respectively. The numbers of days that meet the national secondary air quality standard of 24-h average concentrations were 29.75% for PM2.5, 63.64% for PM10, and 63.64% for TSP, indicating that most of the time, the air quality of Nanyang city remains polluted in winter, especially with more contributions of PM2.5 compared to PM10 and TSP. The higher concentrations were observed between 07:00 and 08:00, suggesting that vehicular emissions can be a major cause of air pollution in Nanyang city. The results also show a significant positive correlation between particulate matter and relative humidity, and a weak correlation with temperature and wind speed, which suggests that higher relative humidity increases the formation of particulate matter. This study can provide theoretical support for the local government to formulate air pollution prevention and control policies for Nanyang city. Full article
