Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In order to understand aerosol’s effects in the atmosphere and their role in climate change, we need to understand their longevity, quantitatively predicting their emission and transportation patterns and processes.
The physical, optical and chemical properties of atmospheric aerosols are difficult to study; due to the fact that the particles have various origins, they have different physical and chemical properties, and the loadings are dependent on the meteorological conditions, which facilitate or prevent particle transport from distant areas and/or limit particle formation processes from local sources. Recently, both local and regional (as well as extreme) aerosol events have become an urgent issue, which must be addressed in aerosol/climate studies.
Currently, researchers use a wide range of equipment and facilities to study and describe aerosols’ physical and chemical properties using measurements to test the model predictions, thereby improving the regional and global models of aerosol transport and transformation patterns.
We invite inter- and transdisciplinary research papers, as well as review papers, describing the climate issues related to aerosol studies (including extreme aerosol events).

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. 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.

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.
