Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Atmosphere, which focuses on moist atmospheric convection in the Tropics and monsoonal regimes. The weather and climate of these regions are dominated by moist convection, which is responsible for numerous phenomena ranging from severe weather to the global circulation. Understanding the physical processes of moist convection is particularly challenging given the vast range of scales involved as well as complex feedbacks and interactions between water vapor and convective precipitation. Exacerbating this challenge is that long-term data sources are oftentimes lacking in the Tropics.
We invite the submission of original research articles and reviews on any aspect of tropical moist convection, including convective cloud microphysics, convective interactions with large-scale forcing, and intraseasonal modes of variability (e.g., the MJO). We encourage studies resulting from experimental campaigns, long-term observations, or innovative uses of satellite platforms that focus on large-scale/deep convection interactions, mesoscale convective organization, or the shallow-to-deep convective transition. Likewise, we encourage numerical modeling studies that also focus on these themes, particularly those employing observation-based, process-oriented diagnostics.

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.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
