Atmospheric and Ocean Optics: Atmospheric Physics IV

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect current novel papers, presented at the 28th International Conference “Atmospheric and Ocean Optics. Atmospheric Physics” (AOO—2022), 4–8 July 2022, Tomsk, https://symp.iao.ru/en/aoo/28/i1. We invite researchers to contribute original research papers dealing with all aspects of atmospheric and ocean optics and atmospheric physics. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Molecular spectroscopy of atmospheric gases;
• Radiative regime and climate problems;
• Models and databases for the problems of atmospheric optics and physics;
• Optical radiation propagation in the atmosphere and ocean;
• Wave propagation in random inhomogeneous media;
• Nonlinear effects at radiation propagation in the atmosphere and water media;
• Laser and acoustic sounding of atmosphere and ocean;
• Bio-optic characteristics of sea water;
• Instruments for measuring hydro-optic characteristics and properties of suspension;
• Underwater light fields;
• Remote sensing, including lidars and color satellite scanners;
• Regional bio-optic algorithms;
• Validation of ocean remote sensing data from space;
• Monitoring of variability in sea water bio-optics under the influence of climate and anthropogenic impacts;
• Optical properties of polar sea waters;
• Physics of the troposphere;
• Structure and dynamics of the lower and middle atmosphere;
• Dynamics of the atmosphere and climate of the Asian region;
• Physics of the upper atmosphere;
• Climatological studies of the upper atmosphere using GNSS;
• The relationship processes in the lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere;
• Long-range atmospheric transport of particulate matter;
• Black carbon in the atmosphere in the Arctic and Subarctic.

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.
