Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As global warming has developed over time since the Industrial Revolution, climate change, especially anthropogenic climate change, excites wide attention and concerns from the human community and has remained as one of the most active research topics in Earth science for decades. The ocean and atmosphere interact vigorously in the tropics through the exchange of heat and moisture. This interaction is essential in the changes in climate systems and climate modes such as monsoons, cyclones, and El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Climate change includes changes in the tropical ocean–atmosphere interaction and is also influenced by the processes or feedbacks in the tropics. This Special Issue aims to present recent advances in the tropical ocean–atmosphere interaction and climate change, two highly interactive topics. It is important to clarify the key processes, mechanisms, and influences of the tropical ocean–atmosphere interaction and illustrate their roles in climate change by observations and model studies.
Topics of interest for the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The processes and mechanisms of tropical ocean–atmosphere interactions;
- The prediction and projection of tropical climate modes (e.g., ENSO);
- Changes in tropical climate modes and their roles in global and regional climate change;
- The responses of monsoons and cyclones to global warming;
- The regional climate changes under global warming.

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.
