Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Atmosphere, which focuses on moist atmospheric convection in the tropics and monsoonal regimes. We invite the submission of original research articles and review articles on any aspect of tropical moist convection, including convective organization, land-atmosphere interaction influence on convective growth and critical thermodynamic variables that determine convective frequency and intensity. We encourage studies resulting from experimental campaigns, long-term observations, or innovative uses of satellite platforms that focus on large-scale/deep convection interactions, mesoscale convective organization, or the shallow-to-deep convective transition. Likewise, we encourage numerical modeling studies that also focus on these themes, particularly those employing observation- based, process-oriented diagnostics.
Prof. Dr. David K. Adams

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.
