Atmospheric and Climate Sciences (ACS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal published quarterly. The journal is dedicated to publishing original research articles across all the fields of applied atmospheric and/or climate science. The journal welcomes contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas:
Ulrich O. Weber
From the first computer-based climate models to the latest general circulation models, hardware and software development have made incredible strides. However, the underlying physical principles of solar irradiation still date back to the analog era, and the…
Runxia Guo, Wenyao Li, Lili Xu, Hongfei Xie
Based on the automatic station observations in central Gansu, the applicability of multi-source precipitation merged products in Lanzhou and Wuwei cities, which are located on the northeast side of the Tibetan Plateau, is assessed using usual station verifica…
Xinyue Cao, Lizi Wang, Yang Li, 1 1
The low-latitude highlands (LLH) of China are subject to highly variable and complex climatic conditions, shaped by the combined influences of monsoonal systems and mid- to high-latitude forcing. These climatic complexities pose persistent challenges to local…
Wolfram Vogelsberger
The increase in global environmental temperature is discussed in relation to basic laws of nature. Terms that are essential for the following considerations are compiled. The climate on earth is determined by the dynamic equilibrium. The energy supplied to th…

Frost events pose a critical climatic risk to agriculture and ecosystems in the Ethiopian Highlands. Yet, a quantitative understanding of the spatiotemporal variability and underlying climatic drivers remains elusive. In Ethiopia, frost occurs most frequently…
Alemnhe Getu Anteneh, Xin Geng, Mulualem Abera Waza, 1 1, 1 1
Ethiopia is a country that is highly vulnerable to climate change and often faces extreme weather events, creating great challenges related to food security, water resources, and socio-economic development. This study investigates the spatial-temporal charact…
Julien Bahino, Martin Konan, M’Begnan Coulibaly, N’Datchoh E. Touré, Marcellin Adon, Arsène Ochou, Sékou Keita, Véronique Yoboué
This study, conducted within the IAQWA (Improving Air Quality in West Africa) project funded by the European Make Our Planet Great Again (MOPGA) program, investigates the temporal association between ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ) concentrations an…
Marilia Hagen, Anibal Azevedo
This paper investigates the global rise in temperatures and provides a comprehensive analysis of projected temperature trends for 2023-2025. It also examines the heightened frequency of wildfires and floods observed over the preceding three-year period. Notab…
Martin Darius Bengo, Jean de Dieu Nzila, Judicaël Otongo, Hugues-Yvan Gomat, 1 1, 1 1
This high-resolution study expands on the initial analysis of the KW 23 core, which only covered the last 135,000 years, going back up to 300,000 years, extracted off the coast of Congo in the Gulf of Guinea, to reconstruct climatic and paleoenvironmental flu…

Droughts are among the extreme weather events that generate serious social, economic, and environmental consequences. This study aims to characterize historical (1951-2020) and projected (2031-2100) droughts in the Nanon Basin. To this end, we used observed a…

Authors submit their manuscript, metadata, and declarations through the portal. There is no submission fee.
The editorial office screens the manuscript for scope, completeness, and formatting before assigning a handling editor.
