Recent Advances in Stratospheric Dynamic-Chemistry-Radiative Coupling Processes

Dear Colleagues,

Dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling processes between stratosphere and troposphere is currently one of the hottest research areas in the field of global warming. Stratospheric dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling is an important process that can drive low and high frequency variations in tropospheric circulation and temperature. Despite the robustness of dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling in both observations and numerical simulations, there is still no consensus as to how the stratosphere triggers dynamical changes in the troposphere. Although tremendous efforts have been made to find out the key factors, the associated coupling processes are still very challenging especially under cloudy sky and terrain conditions. Considering the numerous technical problems, such as machine learning, and the urgent demand for dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling, this Special Issue aims to publish original research articles concerning the estimation, interaction and combined effects of dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling processes between stratosphere and troposphere. 

This Special Issue mainly focuses on contributions that address topics including but not limited to:

• Combined effects of dynamic-chemistry-radiative coupling processes;
• Estimation of atmospheric chemical processes;
• Estimation of atmospheric dynamic processes;
• Estimation of atmospheric radiative processes;
• Interaction between dynamic, chemistry and radiative in stratosphere;
• Interaction between stratosphere and troposphere;
• Dynamic-chemistry-radiative modeling;
• Remote sensing techniques in the stratosphere.

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.
