Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multi-scale structures and fluctuations have been measured in solar wind. The scales range from days to electron gyro periods. The origin and evolution of these structures and fluctuations are key questions of heliophysics. As one type of day-scale structure, the Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME) is the largest eruption in the solar system, which is the main driver of geoeffectiveness. However, the components, evolution and propagation of ICMEs are still unclear due to their strong variability. On the other hand, waves under the ion-gyro-scale are important for energy transmission and dissipation. To reveal the mechanisms of generation and the evolution of these multi-scale structures and fluctuations in solar corona or in interplanetary space, both simulations and observations focus on the heating and accelerating processes and interplanetary magnetic field variation. This Special Issue aims to collect recent important work on the origin and evolution of the multi-scale structures and fluctuation of solar wind from different aspects. It may help us to understand one structure or fluctuation deeper in an interactive view.

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.
