Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cloud microphysical processes are the key factors for quantitatively modeling precipitation and they are linked to global radiative and hydrological fluxes. Cloud characteristics, e.g., cloud type, vertical structure, and water phase in the cloud, can affect precipitation and radiation processes. Meanwhile, the precipitation process can adjust surface evaporation and heat fluxes. Furthermore, cloud microphysical processes are the theoretical foundation for weather modification. Cloud microphysical processes and precipitation are closely related to water and energy balance. Operations of weather modification have been conducted in many countries and there are plenty of weather modification operations and experiments. Therefore, we are pleased to announce a call for papers for the Special Issue on “Cloud Microphysical Processes, Cloud Characteristics and Precipitation”. This issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and advancements in this area. In order to promote a diverse range of perspectives and approaches to this topic, we encourage researchers to submit papers on the following topics or any other relevant research associated with cloud microphysical processes, precipitation, and weather modification.
Topics of interest for the Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:
- Modeling and observation of cloud microphysical processes;
- Precipitation processes;
- Weather modification;
- Airborne observation of cloud particles;
- Modeling and observation of CCN and IN;
- Interactions between the cloud microphysics processes and cloud scale dynamics.

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.
