Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aerosols, with their direct and indirect radiative forcing, are thought to be the largest source of uncertainty in global climate change modeling. Atmospheric aerosols exert influence on air quality and human health and have a direct impact on cloud processes and visibility variations. The optical, physical, and chemical properties of aerosols can be studied in situ or by remote sensing from space and the ground. Satellite remote sensing has evolved dramatically in recent decades. Continuous advancements in instrument design and retrieval techniques allow for more extensive and frequent observations of a wide range of aerosols and trace gasses. In addition, ground-based instruments have high-precision measurement at low spatial reach, which can be used to validate satellite retrievals over land.
This Special Issue welcomes manuscripts that present new and advanced scientific contributions in the remote sensing of aerosols and trace gasses from satellite measurements, from both global and local perspectives. This includes submissions relating to the remote sensing of anthropogenic aerosols from industrial, biomass burning, and agricultural sources, as well as natural aerosols from volcanic eruptions, mineral dust, and biogenic aerosols. Submissions focusing on ground-based in situ and remote sensing measurements for aerosol model evaluation, the radiative effects of aerosols, and the development of statistical models for air quality studies, including laboratory studies and field measurements, are also encouraged.

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.
