Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Numerical Simulation of Aerosol Microphysical Processes” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/IT7J3Q968Z).
Aerosol microphysical processes are simulated in a wide variety of numerical models. From emission to removal, the life cycle of aerosols is treated with different levels of complexity. The performance of the simulation largely quantifies the modeled properties of aerosols, such as particle size distribution, number and mass concentrations, optical properties, hygroscopicity, etc.. These properties define the impact of aerosols on a broad range of issues related to human health, air quality, and climate through their influences on atmospheric chemistry, radiative forcing, cloud formation, and the hydrological cycle.
The aim of this Special Issue is to showcase the most recent advances in the numerical simulation of aerosol microphysical processes. We encourage the submission of manuscripts about innovations of simulations at the process level, including, but not limited to, emission of aerosols and precursor gases, nucleation/new particle formation, secondary formation of organics/inorganics aerosols, aging of preexisting aerosols, cloud droplet activation, wet scavenging, and dry deposition. The numerical models of interest include, but are not limited to, aerosol dynamical models, cloud-resolving models, air quality models, chemical transport models, weather prediction models, and regional/global climate models. We also welcome the submission of research on the linkage of aerosol microphysical properties to environmental and climatic impacts through the use of numerical models.

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.
