Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The problems of deteriorated air quality and climate change are inextricably linked and are relevant worldwide, especially so in developing countries. Air pollutants such as fine-mode aerosols are also important climate forcers with significant direct, indirect and semi-direct effects on climate, for which the current understanding is less than adequate. On the other hand, for emerging airborne contaminants such as microplastics, the potential effects on climate are largely unknown. It is highly desirable that climate change mitigation policies deliver co-benefits in terms of air quality improvements while clean air measures additionally reduce climate forcing. To ensure this, policy efforts must consider the climate effects of airborne pollutants along with those on the environment and human health. This Special Issue aims to address this by highlighting research on the complex interactions between air quality and climate, and the pollutants and processes that mediate these effects. Perspectives from both measurement and modeling approaches are welcome for 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.
