Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate models are critical tools to improve our understanding of climate dynamics varying from seasonal, annual, and decadal, to even longer timescales. Climate models allow us to quantify the role of different climate features by performing sensitivity experiments that cannot be conducted in real observations. Climate models provide us with a projection of future climate change. Yet, great challenges remain within areas such as global rainfall simulation, the double-ITCZ, and regional-to-global-scale climate variability (ENSO, NAO, AMV, etc.) due primarily to limited observations, deficient theories, and imperfect representations in climate models.
To further our understanding of our climate system and climate modeling, we are calling for original research papers related to climate modeling and dynamics in this Special Issue. For example, studies could focus on a quantitative understanding of the characteristics, variability, and underlying mechanisms of a wide range of climate variability ENSO, NAO, AMV, PDO, etc.) through climate modeling; studies could also address their regional and global influences and adaptions, or could evaluate climate model performances on, for example, global monsoon rainfall and circulation or extreme weather events. Additionally, studies using machine learning to improve climate models would be of great interest. Paleoclimate modeling and direct data–model comparison are also encouraged, in particular with explicated geophysical and geochemical tracers.

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.
