The Arctic Atmosphere: Climate and Weather
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over timescales ranging from daily to seasonal to millennial, the atmosphere undergoes larger changes in the Arctic than in other parts of the world. These rapid changes arise from feedbacks and interactions with the cryosphere and with the atmosphere and oceans of lower latitudes. The limited understanding of these feedbacks and interactions adds uncertainty to the future evolution of the Arctic atmosphere. This Topic seeks papers that advance our understanding of changes in the Arctic atmosphere. Papers can be observational analyses in which historical changes (over any time scale) are documented and/or diagnosed, modeling studies addressing feedbacks and mechanisms contributing to Arctic change, and studies addressing future Arctic changes. The latter can include evaluations of uncertainties and diagnostic analyses of the processes and feedbacks involved in future changes. Papers on extreme events in the Arctic and Arctic-midlatitude linkages are especially welcome. Attribution studies in which slow-onset changes or extreme events in the Arctic are evaluated in the context of anthropogenic forcing are also appropriate for this Topic. Attribution studies can address changes in other Arctic system components (the cryosphere, ocean, land surface) that are coupled to changes in the atmosphere.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
