Connecting communities and inspiring ideas
Led by Neil Donahue (Carnegie Mellon University), Environmental Science: Atmospheres is a gold open access journal committed to bringing the wider environmental science and climate change communities together in a fresh, open approach. Environmental Science: Atmospheres covers the full breadth of atmospheric science and links fundamental and applied research.
As a gold open access journal, all the content is freely accessible.
Different communities use different languages, even within science and engineering; physicists use a different language than chemists who use a different language than meteorologists. We are creating a forum to share the newest developments and advances in our understanding of the atmosphere with an audience including environmental engineers, chemists, physicists, and policymakers. We are providing a space where we can talk together and open collaborations between our communities.
Scope
Environmental Science: Atmospheres is a gold open access journal publishing high-quality research in fundamental and applied atmospheric science.
The journal is cross-disciplinary and spans the entirety of Earth’s atmosphere. This includes atmosphere–biosphere, atmosphere–ocean, and atmosphere–surface interactions. We also encourage research related to indoor air as well as human health effects.
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
Publish in our Themed Collections
Environmental Science: Atmospheres publishes a number of themed collections every year on timely and important topics, guest edited by members of the atmospheric science community. All submissions to our themed collections will undergo an initial assessment by the journal Editors and subsequent peer review as per the usual standards of 澳门六合彩开奖记录 journals.

Transparent peer review process
To support increased transparency, we offer authors the option to publish the peer review history alongside their article. Reviewers are anonymous unless they choose to sign their report.

Featured Articles
Atmospheric aerosol particles can be coated with organic materials, impacting aerosol atmospheric lifetime and urban air quality. Coatings of organic materials are also found on indoor surfaces such as window glass.
Air pollution is a major health risk, but the underlying chemical mechanisms are not yet well understood. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and gaseous pollutants can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is the most abundant ROS in the human body.
Atmospheric chemistry models generally assume organic aerosol (OA) to be photochemically inert. Recent mechanisms for the oxidation of biogenic isoprene, a major source of secondary organic aerosol (iSOA), produce excessive OA in the absence of subsequent OA reactivity.
