Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric sulfur is of considerable interest due to its role in regulating the radiative balance of the Earth. Sulfur compounds in the atmosphere originate from both natural and anthropogenic sources. The natural biogenic sources constitute a large fraction of the atmospheric sulfate aerosol that is considered to be the dominant component of atmospheric aerosol burden. In particular, marine biota play key roles in controlling the global sulfur cycle by producing gaseous sulfur compounds (e.g., dimethyl sulfide, carbon disulfide, and carbonyl sulfide) and nonvolatile dissolved organic sulfur compounds. The ongoing climate change could induce alterations in the emission of these biogenic sulfur compounds into the atmosphere by affecting changes in biomass and composition of marine biota. To understand global sulfur cycles and their impacts on climate, it is critical to evaluate the sources, transport, and sink of biogenic sulfur in the atmosphere. We kindly invite you to submit research papers addressing field measurements, laboratory experiments, and modeling studies on biogenic sulfur compounds in this Special 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.
