Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transport and mixing in fluids are ubiquitous in nature, and Lagrangian dynamics play important roles in shaping these processes. They have far-reaching implications in many interwoven fields across different scales and among various disciplines, from micro-organism dynamics at the microscale to ozone dynamics at the planetary scale; from pollutant dispersion and mitigation in the biosphere to aviation safety in the human sphere; and from the analyses of basic physical principles and mathematical equations to the development of numerical software that models such processes. At the core of these studies, the collective information on trajectories of passive or active tracers embedded in some background flows dictates how transport barriers and corridors form, and how models and analyses of related fields can be formulated around such dynamical patterns. This Special Issue brings together related expertise on Lagrangian transport and mixing processes in the atmosphere. The aim is to cross-fertilize advances in applied mathematics and geophysics to improve our understanding of atmospheric transport. Original research or review papers are welcome covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:
- Theories and methods on Lagrangian dynamics related to the atmosphere;
- Relevant numerical and computational tool developments;
- Analyses and re-analyses of atmospheric transport processes at different scales;
- Lagrangian modeling, chemical tracer dynamics.

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.
