Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wind speed plays a critical role in governing the exchange of energy, water, and momentum between the surface of land and the lower atmosphere. Variations in wind speed can affect dust storms, evapotranspiration, and atmospheric visibility. Understanding the causes behind wind speed changes can shed light on the evolution of these processes. Furthermore, wind energy is rapidly developing worldwide, as part of the response to the challenges of fossil fuel depletion, national energy independence, and global warming. Wind speed changes can influence the potential of wind power generation; therefore, improved confidence in wind speed estimation, prediction, and projection is an effective guarantee to improve the robustness of wind power prediction and projection. However, on global and regional scales, the multi-time scale characteristics of wind speed and wind energy and their predictability and future trends are not clear. Specifically, the uncertainties of historical and future changes in wind speed and wind energy over a topographically complex area are large. The question of how to reduce this uncertainty needs to be investigated in more depth.
In this regard, this Special Issue focuses on the estimation, prediction, and projection of wind speed and wind energy, as well as the corresponding mechanisms. We are interested in original research articles addressing the above-mentioned aspects. All theoretical, modeling, and observational studies are welcome. In addition, we are also interested in reviews in the wind speed and wind energy fields. Some topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Wind speed and wind energy estimation, prediction, and projection.
- Multi-time scale characteristics of wind speed and wind energy.
- Mechanisms of wind speed and wind energy change.
- Application of deep learning in wind speed and wind energy research.

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.
