Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of unmanned aerial systems (UASs) opens up exciting new sampling and measurement strategies to facilitate many fields of atmospheric science, especially (but not limited to) those concerned with emissions quantification, air quality, and micrometeorology. UAS platforms and next-generation precision sensors tailored to them have much to offer, and their use is increasing rapidly across the atmospheric science community.
This Special Issue invites studies that make use of UASs and/or describe relevant instrumentation or methods, as applied to atmospheric science across the spectrum of potential applications. This Special Issue is timely, as there is much to be gained from rapid knowledge exchange in this emergent measurement field. We are also interested in studies that may make use of UAS data in wider measurement and modelling strategies.

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.
