Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban air quality is subject to local effects such as heavy traffic, complex topography, local circulation, etc., as well as synoptic circulation and regional transport. If the city is located along a coast and large point sources are situated nearby, things become more complicated. Under this circumstance, three-dimensional observation and simulation are required to characterize its air pollution. For instance, a plume from a coastal stack can be driven inland by sea-breeze circulation, sometimes fumigating into the ground, or passing over it. Air pollution, especially in winter, seems less complex than other seasons, as it has the least photochemistry. However, contrary to our expectation, significant secondary PM2.5 species have been occasionally found at winter haze events. Thus, understanding wintertime urban photochemical air pollution is of importance for air quality management and eventually public health. Any kind of remote sensing (e.g., satellite, Pandora Spectrometer Instrument, MAX-DOAS, sunphotometer, LIDAR) and high-resolution simulation is recommended in this issue.

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.
