Advanced Observation for Geophysics, Climatology and Astronomy

Dear Colleagues,

In the Special Issue, we invite papers aimed at research on natural phenomena and processes occurring in the upper and lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere, including their interaction with the underlying surface. Of interest is the impact of global climate change on the troposphere, stratosphere and mesosphere of the Earth. In particular, we plan that the Special Issue will consider studies related to methods for the observation and analysis of geophysical parameters, including machine learning methods in the diagnosis and prediction of geophysical processes and phenomena.

It is important to study the influence of global processes in the climate system on local (regional) climate changes as well as processes occurring in the middle and lower atmosphere—including aerosol and gas composition, the dynamic characteristics of air flows, turbulence and wave processes, and optical properties of the atmosphere. The search for the causes of global climate change is a priority area of this Special Issue. We also propose to consider the relations between climate change and solar activity.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
