Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric blocking is an important phenomenon in the mid-high-latitude atmosphere, which has long been a hotspot and a challenge in the atmospheric science field. The occurrence of blocking circulation causes large-scale local exchange of energy and mass, resulting in dramatic temperature changes. Many extreme weather events (cold spells and heat waves) are associated with blocking circulation. At the same time, the theoretical study revealing the mechanism of blocking circulation is also a challenging issue due to its complex non-linear dynamics. In the context of global warming and Arctic amplification, the variability of the mid-latitude blocking circulation and its role in the context of climate anomalies becomes more complicated and needs to be further addressed. Here, we propose a Special Issue on atmospheric blocking and weather extremes to collect articles about the research advances in atmospheric blocking and weather extremes from relevant scholars to improve our understanding of blocking dynamics and associated weather extremes.
We invite you to submit your papers to this Special Issue. Submissions are encouraged to cover a wide range of topics which may include atmospheric blocking and extreme weather (extreme cold, heat waves, etc.), atmospheric blocking and Arctic climate, theoretical studies of atmospheric blocking, and so on.

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.
