Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of this Special Issue is to advance our understanding of the interactions between land and atmosphere, to better integrate them in weather and climate models, and to enhance the performance of the simulation of hydrometeorological processes.
An accurate modeling of climate and weather conditions requires the use of numerical models that capture, realistically through their schemes and parametrizations, the complex processes at the surface and in the near-surface atmosphere. In addition, these models should account for the interactions between land and atmosphere and the exchange of energy and mass between them. Moreover, these interactions could involve a feedback component that could enhance or reduce the response of the studied processes to the variability of various factors. Therefore, considering land–atmosphere interactions in a modeling approach is crucial to build a robust and reliable model and predict climate accurately.
The complexity of these interactions and the observations of their components have been the challenge to overcome in order to integrate land-atmosphere interactions when modeling weather and climate. The sensing of land and near-surface parameters has relied on in situ observations, as well as ground-based and space-borne sensors.
This Special Issue invites authors interested in studying land–atmosphere interactions to submit their research results. The submitted manuscripts could include local, regional, or global analysis of land–atmosphere interactions using various models and observational platforms. Submissions that include case studies, field campaigns, and/or the use of sensors to characterize land–atmosphere interactions are also welcome. Thorough and comprehensive review manuscripts are also welcome.

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.
