Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Indo-Pacific Ocean is one of the most active air–sea interaction areas in the tropic. Its large-scale circulation exhibits seasonal shifts under monsoon forcing and strait water exchange. Due to its vast area and importance as a climate variability regulator, the circulation variability of the Indo-Pacific Ocean and its associated air–sea interaction significantly modulate the climate and weather changes in the surrounding regions. To better understand the multiscale Indo-Pacific Ocean dynamic process and its associated air–sea interactions, we expect that outstanding scientists from all around the world and from all related areas can gather and exchange ideas and concerns from different aspects.

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 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.

In this study, the properties and related anomalies in sea surface wind and rainfall associated with marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the northern South China Sea (SCS) were investigated. The intensity and frequency (duration) of MHWs are high (short) along the coast and decrease (increase) when moving toward the open sea. On the continental shelf of the northern SCS, the wind anomalies associated with MHWs move in a northeastward direction in seasons other than summer. In the summer, MHW-induced wind anomalies were found to be statistically insignificant. In response to MHWs, there is a notable negative rainfall anomaly observed during the spring and summer, whereas a positive anomaly is observed in the fall. In the winter, the MHW-induced rainfall anomalies were deemed insignificant. The presence of an El Niño event can delay the influence of MHWs on rainfall anomalies and attenuate the amplitude of MHW-induced sea surface wind anomalies. Full article
