Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fundamental gas phase processes control many aspects of atmospheric composition change and consequently underpin associated environmental impacts across all spatial and temporal scales, from local air quality through to long-term global climatic effects. Thus, understanding the basic nature and effectiveness of gas phase processes is essential to realizing their atmospheric impact. Specifically, characterization of the kinetics, dynamics, and photochemistry of fundamental processes of gas phase reactive species is centrally important. This is achieved through laboratory and theoretical studies, either of isolated processes or in replicated atmospheric systems. Fundamental insight may also be inferred from the interpretation of field observations and implicated from atmospheric model studies.
We invite manuscripts describing recent investigations of fundamental atmospheric processes, their methodology, principal findings, and impact on atmospheric and consequently environmental change. The focus would include reactive species such as atoms, ions, and free radicals as well as weakly bound and photolabile complexes and molecules. Uncertainties and misconceptions in ‘known’ atmospheric chemistry and physics will be examined, along with any new or previously misinterpreted processes. The issue aims to link the current state-of-the-art in fundamental studies to their atmospheric and environmental impact as is happening now and into the future.

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.
