Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowaday, massive volumes  of data have been produced from multiple platforms: e.g., Eularian and Lagrangina style in-situ measurements, ground-based or satellite remote sensing, model simulations, reanalysis results from data assimilation. Analyses based on a single data set may not provide sufficient information for air quality diagnose.. Sophisticated analyses based on data from multiple resources are strongly necessary for reliable diagnosis of local, regional, and global air quality.  Meanwhile, novel methods of data analyses (e.g. machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc.) have been utilized widely to leverage these “big data” for air quality diagnosis.   

This special issues seeks studies on the use of “big data” from multiple resources and novel data analysis methods to multi-scale air quality diagnose. We also welcome studies on the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning for air quality diagnosis.

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.

Air pollution sources and the hazards of high particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentrations among air pollutants have been well documented. Shipping emissions have been identified as a source of air pollution; therefore, it is necessary to predict air pollutant concentrations to manage seaport air quality. However, air pollution prediction models rarely consider shipping emissions. Here, the PM2.5 concentrations of the Busan North and Busan New Ports were predicted using a recurrent neural network and long short-term memory model by employing the shipping activity data of Busan Port. In contrast to previous studies that employed only air quality and meteorological data as input data, our model considered shipping activity data as an emission source. The model was trained from 1 January 2019 to 31 January 2020 and predictions and verifications were performed from 1–28 February 2020. Verifications revealed an index of agreements (IOA) of 0.975 and 0.970 and root mean square errors of 4.88 and 5.87 µg/m3 for Busan North Port and Busan New Port, respectively. Regarding the results based on the activity data, a previous study reported an IOA of 0.62–0.84, with a higher predictive power of 0.970–0.975. Thus, the extended approach offers a useful strategy to prevent PM2.5 air pollutant-induced damage in seaports. Full article
