Scope
Chemical processes, interactions between chemical and physical systems, and environmental change are central, as is environmental change driven by natural or anthropogenic causes, including emissions from natural and human systems.
Environmental Science: Atmospheres welcomes contributions in thermodynamics, microphysics, and chemistry of multiphase systems coupling gases, aerosols and clouds, as well as photochemistry and radiative transfer. All aspects of science are covered, including in situ and laboratory measurements, computation chemistry and chemical transport modelling, instrumentation, and remote sensing.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Aerosols
- Biomass burning
- Biosphere interactions
- Clouds
- Climate variability, drivers and consequences
- Computational chemistry
- Deposition
- Dust
- Emissions
- Field measurements
- Gases
- Health effects
- Hydrosphere interactions
- Indoor air
- Instrumentation
- Modelling
- Isotopes
- Laboratory measurements
- Multiphase chemistry
- Pollution mitigation
- Precipitation
- Radiation
- Remote sensing
Readership
Our readership is interdisciplinary including researchers throughout the wider environmental science and climate change communities, appealing to both those working in fundamental and applied atmospheric chemistry.
