Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urbanization is developing rapidly. As a global event, urbanization is changing the properties and energy balance of Earth’s surface and is having a significant impact on urban climates. As a result, urban climate ecological services are facing unprecedented challenges. With the fast process of urbanization, a variety of urban environmental problems have emerged, such as the urban heat island effect and urban air pollution. Urban climate research involves multidisciplinary theoretical methods such as urban geography, urban climatology, and urban ecology. This Special Issue seeks to couple spatial location and radiation energy balance, a comprehensive application of multi-source remote sensing data, GIS spatial analysis, and related climate models to obtain the latest research results on urban climates.

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.
