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:
Sylvain Gnamien, Siélé Silué, Eric-Michel Assamoi, Mohamed Kassamba-Diaby, Sekou Keita, Julien Bahino, N’Datchoh E. Touré, Cathy Liousse, Véronique Yoboué
Air quality in West Africa is strongly influenced by interactions between anthropogenic and natural emissions of particulate matter (PM). In this study, we examine variations in carbon aerosol concentrations (organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC)) dur…
Salfo Kaboré, Abidina Diabaté, Yacouba Naon, Frédéric Ouattara, 1 1, 1 1
In this paper, we use a statistical approach to study the distribution of days of geomagnetic activity caused by the fluctuation of the Sun’s neutral plate as a function of solar phases and season during solar cycle 24. We also examine the daily response of t…
Jacques Raymond Daniel Lépine
The aim of this work is to present a series of arguments against the widely accepted interpretation that the present heating of the Earth atmosphere is due to the increase of the CO 2 molecule abundance in it, which results in an increase of the greenhouse ef…
Moussa Mamady Traore, Dahirou Wane, Ibrahima Camara, Tamba Nicolas Millimono, Ibrahima Kalil Kanté, Mamadou Bailo Barry, Moussa Diakhaté, Abdou Lahat Dieng, Saidou Moustapha Sall, 1 1, 1 1, 1 1, 1 1, 1 1, 1 1
The Republic of Guinea experiences a tropical climate marked by a dry season influenced by the Harmattan winds and a rainy season driven by the West African monsoon, with a mean annual rainfall of approximately 1835 mm. This study examines precipitation trend…
Jerfferson Lobato dos Santos, Francis Wagner Silva Correia, Weslley de Brito Gomes, Leonardo Alves Vergasta, Paulo Maurício A. Graça, Philip M. Fearnside, 1 1, 1 1
This study investigates the impacts of deforestation within the influence area of the BR-319 highway on local climate conditions following its planned reconstruction. High-resolution climate modeling indicates that mean air temperature may increase by up to 0…
Vaola Agaba, Valence Habyarimana, Sharon Aol, Tom Mutabazi, Vallence Niyonzima, Eugene Bizimana
Geomagnetic storms significantly disturb the ionosphere, impacting satellite-based systems such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), communication links, and power infrastructure. This study models the ionospheric response to geomagnetic storms o…
Abdérahim Toguyeni, Ali Doumounia, Wendkuni Ghislain Noba, Lucien Damiba, François Zougmore, 1 1
This study assesses future climate projections for the Nouhao sub-basin at three key temporal horizons (2050, 2070, and 2100) under different SSP scenarios. Using recent precipitation and temperature data from 17 global CMIP6 models downscaled at a 0.25˚ reso…

This paper examines the impact of X flares, sunspots, and other solar phenomena on the Earth’s surface, which contribute to climate anomalies. The analysis focuses on global events and variations. The Earth’s magnetic field protects from solar radiation, whic…
Waheeb E. Alnaser, Munir H. Nayfeh
This paper explores the relationship between recent military conflicts and their contribution to global warming and climate change. It examines how bombings and explosions emit greenhouse gases, particularly CO 2 , and estimates their cumulative impact relati…
Kahlan Al Toubi, Munira Al Quraini, Afada Al Hubaishi
Climate normal calculation over Oman is a key challenge due to scattered and inconsistent ground observations. Based on the available observations record to calculate the normal, the study derives the Provisional Climate Normal. The data from selected station…

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: 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.
Declare all funding sources, conflicts of interest, and ethical approvals (including informed consent and animal-care statements where applicable).
