Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of "Effects of Natural and Anthropogenic Factors on Climate and Environment (2nd Edition)" (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/Y5NGN6DA84), published in Atmosphere in 2024.
This Special Issue will focus on the natural and anthropogenic activities that affect the climate and environment of various regions around the world. For example, emissions from a volcanic eruption may impact the climate and environment of distant locations via aerosols that are transported by the Earth’s general atmospheric circulation; the dust and aerosols from a desert may reach other areas and cause health impacts; and emissions from burning fossil fuels may affect surrounding regions. Pollution derived from urban areas, brick kilns and other activities based in rural areas, and coastal/marine sectors can spread, negatively impacting the climate and environment. Moreover, climate change due to natural and anthropogenic activities may induce changes in the environment, thus creating conditions that are conducive to the growth and development of different water- and vector-borne diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya, etc. Carbon emissions are associated with the greenhouse effect and have a substantial effect on the climate and environment. Climate change can also affect temperature, precipitation, and wind circulation, thereby leading to shifts in biodiversity. Atmospheric and water thermal extremes may give rise to storms and cyclones, causing major disasters. This Special Issue adopts a broader view and welcomes articles that introduce new methods in environmental and climate modeling and simulation and numerical predictions to examine, for example, thermal extremes, demonstrating the impacts of natural and anthropogenic activities on the climate and environment. We also encourage the submission of articles that use innovative approaches and present new solutions to problems that arise from natural and anthropogenic activities.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
