Surface–Atmosphere Exchange—Micro-Scales to Climate Scales

Dear Colleagues,

Surface–atmosphere exchange is now increasingly focused on bio-meteorological interactions, which represent the study of how the biosphere, including both natural and humanmade ecosystems, interacts with the atmosphere through the surface–atmosphere exchange of energy, gases, and particles on micro- and regional scales. Increasingly, it has been realized that the biosphere is a critical component in the Earth’s climate system through processes of bio-deposition and emission interactions involving climatically important biogenic gases and particles in response to evapotranspiration changes. Thus, biospheric processes are now a common feature of regional and climate models required to accurately predict both past and future ecosystem response to climate change. This has motivated researchers to develop measurement and computer modeling techniques to improve our understanding of biosphere atmospheric exchange and its role in local as well as global chemical cycling. The study of surface–atmosphere exchange and biometeorology requires a significant multidisciplinary approach using new technological developments in real-time aerosol composition and biological aerosol detection and quantification using optoelectronic techniques coupled with neural network–AI algorithms, to better understand biogeochemistry, ecology, co-emissions of anthropogenic and natural biogenic environmental pollution, and biogenic agricultural emission patterns.

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.
