Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have launched this Special Issue to present up-to-date advances in research on the evolution processes of organic aerosols (OAs). OAs comprise a large fraction of aerosols’ mass and are formed from various emission sources and transformation processes. The dynamic and continual process of OA evolution influences the effects of aerosols on climate and air quality. Although there have been numerous improvements in the understanding of OAs over last decades, details of the evolution of OAs—including sources, atmospheric processing, and removal—remain uncertain, i.e., models have often had trouble capturing the observed magnitudes of OAs. To further obtain a more comprehensive understanding of OA evolution, this Special Issue calls for original research on these topics:
- Instrument development for OA measurements
- Field observations of OAs
- Lab studies on the oxidation mechanisms of OAs
- Chemical and physical characterization of OAs
- Source apportionment and origins analysis of OAs
- Mechanisms of OA removal
- The associations between OAs and other important aerosol species

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.
