Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Evapotranspiration (ET) is a crucial process involved in the exchange of water and energy in the hydrosphere, atmosphere, pedosphere and biosphere, and it is also an important link between ecological processes and hydrological processes. Therefore, establishing effective ET observation methods and developing more accurate ET models are of great significance for studying the temporal and spatial distribution of ET in the terrestrial surface system, demonstrating the process of ET and the mechanism of different ecosystems, and understanding the evolution characteristics of the water cycle and its climate, resources and environmental effects within the context of climate change and intensified human activities.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to contribute to our understanding of ET processes and their role in the interactions among the different spheres of earth. Papers that present science-based knowledge, novel ideas/approaches and solutions in ET observation and modelling are welcome. Original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and model studies related to the observation and modelling of ET are welcome. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New observation instruments or algorithms to improve the ET observation accuracy;
- Development of ET inversion based on satellite remote sensing;
- Evaluation of ET simulations among the different hydrological/ecological models;
- Data assimilation/parameter optimization to improve ET simulation accuracy;
- Machine learning fusion to improve ET estimation.
We very much look forward to your submissions.

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.
