Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Arctic, Antarctica, and the Tibetan Plateau (The third pole) are the three poles of the earth, and experiencing dramatic climate change nowadays. Therefore, glaciers, ice caps, sea ice, ice sheets, etc. in these regions have lost a lot of mass in recent decades, and the rate of loss is now accelerating. As a result, the melting of glaciers/ice sheets become one of the dominant contributors to current global sea-level rise. The latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports emphasize the effects of climate change on the three poles subject to multiple and complex physical feedbacks. The Arctic, Antarctic, and Tibetan Plateau atmosphere change has become a timely and attractive scientific topic. This research topic will showcase recent progress in our understanding of:
- Characteristics of the cryosphere in the three poles;
- Extreme weather events and climate status over the three poles;
- Implications for climate changes of the three poles, based on observations and numerical models;
- The mass balance of glaciers and ice sheet.
This Research Topic is expected to better understand the status and future climate changes in the three poles of the earth, and their impacts on ice sheets, glaciers and so on. Submissions in, but not limited to, the following research areas, are welcomed:
- Weather and climate status estimation and modelling
- Investigating and modeling extreme weather events
- Reconstructed paleoclimate from ice core records
- The role of climate changes in current and future mass balance of the three poles
- Skills of CMIP6 for capturing and understanding the climate over the three poles

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.
