Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is soliciting papers showcasing recent results related to the science of and policy surrounding aerosol radiative forcing and air quality impacts. The overall objective is to highlight recent advances at the intersection of aerosol research and policy decisions. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, trends in aerosol and aerosol precursor emissions, long term monitoring of trends in aerosol concentrations using in situ and remote sensors, process studies on radiative forcing and air quality impacts of aerosol emissions, and modeling of aerosol direct radiative effects and aerosol–cloud interactions. Linkages between measurement and modeling results and how they have informed policy decisions are particularly suitable for this Special Issue. Policy decisions could range from those related to improving air quality or the feasibility of solar radiation management through marine cloud brightening. Scales of aerosol impacts can range from local to regional or to global.

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.
