Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Models are currently the primary components for analysis in most meteorological and air quality assessments and the only tools available for future projections, allowing alternative scenarios to be investigated. Moreover, in contrast to the limitations in the spatial coverage of field measurements, models allow assessments over large regions, even the globe. Despite their advantages, modelling outputs are subject to significant uncertainties due to deficiencies in our knowledge and limitations owed to the various spatial and temporal resolutions involved in the processes. These shortfalls can to some extent be offset by the validations of models with the help of measurements that can be used in a complementary manner, or the development of modelling ensembles that advance our knowledge on the impact of the various alternative parameterizations on the modelling outputs.
This Special Issue of Atmosphere is oriented towards numerical weather prediction and air quality modelling communities and aims to present a collection of studies that advance our knowledge on all aspects of this field. We invite authors to submit original articles that focus on meteorological modelling and air quality modelling on local, regional, or global scales. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, model development, applications, evaluation, sensitivity studies, optimization and best practices that can be applied, impact studies, climate and air quality interactions, and extreme events. Research papers, analytical reviews, case studies, and policy-relevant articles are encouraged.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
