ENSO: Dynamics, Predictability, Modelling and Teleconnection

Dear Colleagues,

ENSO, one of the most important tropospheric variabilities, affects various parts of the globe differently and is also season-dependent. The formation mechanism mainly involves atmosphere–ocean coupling, and its influence is even present in the upper stratosphere. Since the last few decades of the last century, some deviation on ENSO-related teleconnection has also been noticed, as well as some ENSO characteristics. This Special Issue will focus on various aspects of ENSO, which may include but not be limited to its dynamics, predictability, and teleconnection. Analyses on observation/re-analyses and model results are welcome. Results involving CMIP5 and CMIP6 simulations in historical and future scenarios can also be explored. Among others, the following areas may be addressed: coupling of various modes with ENSO; ENSO-related teleconnection, including ENSO and Indian summer monsoon connection; ENSO Modoki and canonical ENSO; asymmetric features of ENSO phases, etc. Overall, the main aim is to improve our general understanding of ENSO.

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.
