International Journal of Atmosphere

International Journal of Atmosphere is a peer-reviewed Online journal launched in 2024 that aims to publish original research articles, review papers, technical notes, and short communications on various aspects of the atmosphere. The Journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, technical notes, and short communications that present new insights and advances in atmospheric science, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinary studies that integrate different fields of science to address complex atmospheric problems. The journal aims to promote the dissemination of high-quality research that can inform policy and practice in areas such as air quality management, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and weather forecasting. All submitted manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the scientific soundness and relevance of the published articles.

The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic and narrative literature reviews, technical notes, short communications, and invited editorials in the following thematic areas:

• Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry: atmospheric composition and greenhouse gases, ozone depletion and stratospheric chemistry, tropospheric chemistry and photochemistry, atmospheric aerosols and particulates, atmospheric radiation and energy balance, atmospheric dynamics and wave phenomena, chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms, acid rain formation and biogeochemical cycles, and trace gas cycling (carbon, nitrogen, sulfur).
• Meteorology and Climatology: weather forecasting and prediction systems, climate modeling and climate sensitivity, climate variability and change, extreme weather events and hazardous phenomena, atmospheric circulation patterns and large-scale dynamics, ocean-atmosphere interactions and coupled systems, monsoons and regional climate modes (ENSO, NAO, MJO), precipitation patterns and hydrological cycles, heat waves and cold spells, droughts and floods, and climate feedbacks and tipping points.
• Atmospheric Modeling and Data Assimilation: numerical weather prediction models, climate and Earth system models, air quality and chemical transport models, aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction models, data assimilation techniques and ensemble methods, parameterization of subgrid processes, model evaluation and intercomparison, uncertainty quantification and sensitivity analysis, high-performance computing for atmospheric applications, and scenario development for climate projections.
• Atmospheric Remote Sensing: satellite remote sensing and Earth observation, active and passive remote sensing techniques (radar, lidar, radiometers), infrared and microwave remote sensing, ozone and aerosol monitoring from space, cloud and precipitation remote sensing, atmospheric profiling and vertical measurements, GPS radio occultation and atmospheric sounding, land surface temperature and vegetation monitoring, and validation and assimilation of satellite data.
• Air Quality and Pollution: criteria and hazardous air pollutants (particulate matter, ozone, NOx, SO₂, CO, VOCs), emission sources and inventories (industrial, vehicular, agricultural, natural), transport and dispersion of pollutants, urban and rural air quality, indoor air quality, atmospheric deposition and secondary pollution, health impacts of air pollution, air quality monitoring and standards, pollution control technologies, and mitigation strategies.
• Atmospheric Boundary Layer and Surface Interactions: planetary boundary layer structure and evolution, surface and mixed-layer meteorology, atmospheric turbulence and mixing, land-atmosphere and air-sea interactions, surface energy and water vapor budgets, momentum and scalar transfer processes, vegetation-atmosphere coupling, trace gas and aerosol exchange, boundary layer clouds, stable and convective boundary layer regimes, and parameterization for regional and global models.
