Special Issue Information
The atmosphere is a complex mixture of physical and chemical processes. Ambient air measurements provide a snapshot of the atmosphere at a given space and time. Policymakers require more than measurements in order to address a variety of environmental issues such as air quality, climate change and human health. An alternative approach using an atmospheric model, which is a mathematical representation of the dynamical, physical, chemical and photolytic processes in the atmosphere, can give a necessary framework for integrating our understanding of atmospheric processes with ambient measurements. In order to improve our understanding of the Earth system, a combination of ambient measurements and modelling is required. Atmospheric modelling results can be used to gain and develop insights into what trace species are present at what concentrations in the atmosphere, how these concentrations are changing over time, where and in what quantities they are being emitted, what the impacts are for these changes and if the policymakers need to introduce legislation or change policies in response to these answers.
Articles are invited on all aspects of the development and use of atmospheric models in atmospheric chemistry and transport of the trace species across a range of space from local to regional and global scales and a range of time from seconds, hours, days to seasonal, decadal and centuries.

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.
