Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This is the second volume of the Special Issue entitled "Solar Radiation: Measurements and Model Studies—Progress and Perspectives”, which was published in Atmosphere in 2023; the first volume can be found at the following link: (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/6955QL3JN0).
It is well known that the need to advance the use of green energy seeks to reduce environmental pollution, achieve economic goals, and undermine the mechanism of climate change. Solar radiation is considered to be one of the cleanest, most accessible, and alternative sources of renewable energy that can meet future energy needs. With recent developments in solar energy projects around the globe, a proper estimation of solar radiation and related parameters is needed.
We invite researchers to contribute original research manuscripts relating to all aspects of solar radiation, measurements, and modelling. Relevant research includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Radiation studies that present new knowledge of aerosol–cloud–radiation interactions on a regional scale;
- Characterization of the effects of air pollution processes on radiation;
- Testing different techniques, measurements, and models for a precise understanding of solar radiation;
- Solar UV radiation;
- Optical radiation propagation;
- Dynamic and microphysics radiation;
- Electromagnetic radiation—emission, absorption, and scattering rates.
If this topic is of interest to you, please do not hesitate to send your manuscript for review.
Dr. Abd Al Karim Haj Ismail

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.
