Climate Variability and El Nino-Southern Oscillation

Dear Colleagues,

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant driver of year-to-year climate variability, with profound impacts on global weather patterns, ecosystems, and societies. This special issue of Atmosphere seeks to advance our understanding of ENSO’s complex dynamics, its interactions with broader climate variability, and its implications in a changing climate. We welcome high-quality research addressing the mechanisms of ENSO diversity and extremes, its predictability on seasonal to decadal timescales, and its teleconnections to regional climate anomalies, including extreme events. Studies exploring the interplay between ENSO and other climate modes, anthropogenic forcing, and emerging challenges in modelling and prediction are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue aims to synthesize contemporary research to improve climate risk assessment and inform adaptation strategies, providing a timely platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on one of the most critical phenomena in the Earth’s climate system.

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-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.
