Emerging Insights in Atmospheric Icing

Dear Colleagues,

Atmospheric icing and related cold-weather phenomena remain significant multidisciplinary challenges with implications for weather processes, infrastructure performance and environmental risk. These phenomena are intrinsically linked to atmospheric dynamics, cloud microphysics, thermodynamic environments, boundary-layer processes and precipitation mechanisms that are central to contemporary meteorological research.

The Special Issue Emerging Insights in Atmospheric Icing aims to capture recent advances across a broad yet coherent spectrum of weather-related science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• In situ and remote sensing observations of icing conditions, supercooled liquid water, freezing precipitation and associated atmospheric states.
• Physical meteorology and cloud microphysics related to phase transitions, ice nucleation and mixed-phase processes.
• Boundary-layer and mesoscale meteorology governing the transport, formation and persistence of icing environments.
• Numerical methods, modeling and data assimilation for improved forecasting of icing events and cold weather hazards.
• Climate variability and teleconnection influences on the frequency and intensity of icing-relevant weather systems.
• Applied meteorological impacts on aviation, renewable energy, transportation and cold-region infrastructure performance.
• Mitigation and adaptation strategies informed by meteorological insights and predictive analytics.

We invite submission of high-quality original research articles and comprehensive review papers that contribute to atmospheric science, meteorological modeling and the characterization and mitigation of cold-weather atmospheric impacts.

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.
