Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the dominant climate mode of the tropical Pacific at interannual timescales impacting many regions around the globe both in tropical and extratropical latitudes through oceanic and atmospheric teleconnections. It affects large-scale global atmosphere circulation at a wide range of timescales (from seasonal up to decadal) causing climate extremes such as droughts, floods, heat waves, and influencing many geophysical and biological phenomena across the globe. Although, over the last 4 decades, significant advances have been made in our understanding of ENSO dynamics and teleconnection, yielding improvements in the predictions of its impact on society, recent research has also revealed a greater complexity of ENSO than previously thought. The concept of ENSO diversity has recently emerged referring to the existence of two types of El Niño with distinct spatial patterns, evolution and mechanisms. This has implications for understanding its teleconnections to the mid-to-high latitudes where regional air-sea-land interactions can act to modulate ENSO impacts. The eastward intensification of ENSO teleconnections and the expectation that more frequent ENSO extremes will take place under greenhouse warming call also to make progress in our understanding the ENSO impacts in the mid-to-high latitudes of both Hemispheres in the future climate.
In this Special Issue, we focus on the ENSO teleconnection in the mid-to high latitudes of both Hemispheres and aim to outline some of the current work that addresses these new challenges. We welcome works that deal with the impacts of ENSO on weather and climate anomalies in mid-to high latitudes, as well as novel approaches and methodologies to address atmospheric teleconnections.

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.
