Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Recent Advances in Air-Sea Interactions, Climate Variability, and Predictability” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/997E04D253).
Air–sea interaction is an active area of research that is crucial for reducing uncertainties in weather and climate predictions. Exchanges of momentum, heat, and mass across the marine boundary layer involve a variety of dynamic, thermodynamic, and biogeochemical processes, and hence play an important role in the variability and predictability of weather and climate. Recent studies have shown advances in many respects, including, but not limited to:
(1) Improving air–sea coupling and exchange observations;
(2) Refining the representation of relevant processes in coupled climate models;
(3) Developing statistical representations using data-driven/ machine learning techniques;
(4) Understanding relevant physical processes from the submesoscale to mesoscale to synoptic scales and, further, to large-scale modes of climate variability;
(5) Addressing air–sea interaction in the context of climate change predictions at global and regional scales.
We hope to follow along these lines in this Special Issue. Therefore, we are inviting contributions covering the following topics:
- Air–sea interaction at the submeso, meso, and synoptic scales from the tropics to high latitudes;
- Recent advances in the observation and modeling of air–sea coupling and exchange;
- Large-scale modes of climate variability, such as ENSO, IOD, PDO, NAO, and AMO, and teleconnections;
- High-resolution modeling of marine boundary layer processes;
- Global and regional estimates of air–sea fluxes, including, but not limited to: heat, moisture, and momentum;
- The influence of air–sea coupling on climate variability and predictability, including extreme weather and climate events;
- Noval techniques involving air–sea interaction and coupling, including data-driven and machine learning approaches;
- Other topics on air–sea interaction, climate dynamics, and predictability.

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.

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.
