Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Atmospheric Ice Nucleating Particles, Cloud and Precipitation” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/OFBEG44QYZ).
The aim of this Special Issue is to present current advances in the field of atmospheric ice-nucleating particles (INPs), cloud and precipitation observation, and modeling. Atmospheric ice nucleation plays a vital role in ice crystal formation in clouds, changing the microphysical properties of clouds, precipitation, and atmospheric radiative transfer and affecting the climate system and hydrological cycle. The heterogeneous nucleation of atmospheric ice nuclei has become a hot research topic due to its activation characteristics for improving the accuracy of regional and global weather, the climate, and Earth system models. However, little is known about how INPs affect clouds and precipitation. Here, we call for contributions related to the properties of ice-nucleating particles, clouds, and precipitation. This topic encompasses observations (INPs, clouds, and precipitation), simulations (process, regional, and global), and weather extremes (droughts, floods, and storm surges).

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.
