Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
PM in the atmosphere has diverse natural and anthropogenic sources and is a complex, heterogeneous mixture. Its size and chemical composition can change in time and space, depending on emission sources and atmospheric and meteorological conditions. Aerosols can arise from natural sources, including dust, pollen and volcanic ash, or anthropogenic sources including fuel combustion, incineration, domestic heating and transport. Depending on the environment in question, aerosol chemical composition, size, shape and vertical distribution may vary considerably. Therefore the physicochemical characterization of aerosol in different types of environments is of utmost importance, contributing to air quality, public health and the environment.
For this Special Issue, we aim to compile high-quality research and provide the community a valuable resource on the study of ambient aerosol in different environments. Such contributions may contain recent development and application of novel instrumentation in the field. Alternatively, authors can contribute manuscripts that focus on specific measurement techniques used at different sites for monitoring purposes and/or during intensive measurement campaigns. Finally, remote sensing, in-situ as well as modelling studies vs. ambient measurements comparisons are also welcome contributions to this Special Issue. If in doubt about the suitability of the research for the SI, potential authors are invited to discuss the idea with the Guest Editor before preparing the paper.

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.
