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:
Ladislaus Benedict Chang’a, Agnes Lawrence Kijazi, Kantamla Biseke Mafuru, Alfred Lawrence Kondowe, Sarah Emirald Osima, Habiba Ismail Mtongori, Hashim Karim Ng’ongolo, Omari Hamisi Juma, Edward Michael
This study aimed at establishing and quantifying the evolution and socio-economic impacts of extreme rainfall events in October 2019. The study also focused on ascertaining the extent to which the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and the El Ni ? o Southern Oscillati…
Yaw A. Twumasi, Edmund C. Merem, John B. Namwamba, Tomas Ayala-Silva, Ronald Okwemba, Olipa S. Mwakimi, Kamran Abdollahi, Onyumbe E. Ben Lukongo, Kellyn LaCour-Conant, Joshua Tate, Caroline O. Akinrinwoye
This paper seeks to identify high risk areas that are prone to flooding, caused by sea level rise because of high impacts of global climate change resulting from global warming and human settlements in low-lying coastal elevation areas in Louisiana, and model…

This study presents a new non-parametric measure of heat waves called heat wave norm (HWN), which allows quantifying and qualifying the magnitude of the summer heat wave events in the Bechar region located northwest of the Algerian Sahara over the period 1951…
Douye Pereere Wodu, Vincent Ezikornwor Weli, Moses Okemini Nwagbara
This study examined the indoor thermal comfort characteristics and it implications for the health of the inhabitants in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state, Nigeria. The study used the experimental and survey research designs to gather primary data of temperature (dry and…

Africa is already experiencing the impact of climate change. Some of the manifestations of climate change in Africa are, changing weather patterns resulting in, flooding and drought. Temperature change has impacted health, livelihoods, productivity of food, a…
Dialo Diop, Demba Ndao Niang, Mamadou Simina Drame, Abdoulaye Ba
This study aims to evaluate dust impact on climate parameters over the Sahel region by RegCM3 regional model during 2006. Indeed, aerosols are one of the main uncertainties in climate models. The aerosol optical depth (AOD) derived from RegCM3 model has been…
Dro Touré Tiemoko, Fidèle Yoroba, Adama Diawara, Kouakou Kouadio, Benjamin Komenan Kouassi, Assi Louis Martial Yapo
The temporal variations of the Gross Primary Productivity (GPP), the Total Ecosystem Respiration (TER) and the Net Ecosystem Exchange (NEE), and their responses to meteorological conditions (e.g. temperature, radiative flux and precipitation) at Lamto, in wet…
Thorstein O. Seim, Borgar T. Olsen, 1 1
The Greenhouse Effect was simulated in a laboratory setup, consisting of a heated ground area and two chambers, one filled with air and one filled with air or CO 2 . While heating the gas the temperature and IR radiation in both chambers were measured. IR rad…

The journal welcomes contributions in, but not limited to, the following areas: All articles are open access under a CC BY 4.0 licence, with authors retaining copyright.
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.
At least two independent reviewers evaluate the manuscript under single-blind review. Where revisions are required, authors respond point by point.
On acceptance the article processing charge is invoiced and the CC BY 4.0 copyright handover is signed.
The article is copyedited, typeset, and given a DOI, then publishes open access with a permanent link.
Manuscripts must be original and not under consideration elsewhere. Submit in Microsoft Word or LaTeX with figures at 300 dpi minimum. Structure research articles as Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, and References.
Use the journal's numbered (Vancouver) reference style. Cite sources consecutively in the order they appear, and ensure every reference is complete and retrievable.
