Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric icing poses significant challenges in aviation, renewable energy, and infrastructure and addressing these challenges requires advancements in predictive models, our understanding of heat and mass transfer, and mitigation strategies.
Recent advancements in predictive modeling have enhanced the ability to forecast icing events; by integrating meteorological data, physical principles, and computational algorithms, these models predict icing likelihood and intensity with greater accuracy. High-resolution weather prediction models, machine learning algorithms, and remote sensing technologies contribute to more reliable forecasts, enabling better preparation and response. In addition, understanding heat and mass transfer during and after icing formation is crucial for developing effective mitigation techniques.
Research on atmospheric icing is interdisciplinary, combining meteorology, materials science, engineering, and applied physics. Integrating predictive models with heat and mass transfer analyses and innovative mitigation strategies enhances infrastructure protection and system safety. Continuous advancements in these areas are essential for improving our ability to predict, prevent, and mitigate icing events, safeguarding critical infrastructure and enhancing operational safety across affected industries. Researchers are invited to contribute to this Special Issue by submitting original and review articles offering novel insights and solutions to the challenges of atmospheric icing.
Sincerely,
Dr. Behrouz Mohammadian

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.
