Prediction and Modeling of Extreme Weather Events

Dear Colleagues,

Extreme events are currently becoming more frequent and more extreme in many regions of the planet. Unfortunately, these events are causing numerous losses of life and property, especially in places where more socioeconomically vulnerable people live, which has awakened interest in the issue of climate justice.

Currently, the countries that are the largest emitters of GHG are also the ones that develop atmospheric general circulation models, used both at the weather and climate scale. However, these models are often neither validated nor adapted to the atmospheric conditions of countries located in the equatorial and subtropical zones of the Southern Hemisphere, for example, countries that have become increasingly vulnerable to extreme events.

Thus, within the idea of climate justice, the proposal would be an edition focused on the application/validation of numerical modeling aimed at extreme events occurring in places whose population presents a high level of socioeconomic vulnerability.

The articles can be both about climatic extremes linked to the occurrence of prolonged droughts, intense precipitation volumes, heat waves, etc., and the prognosis of events on a more regional scale, such as floods, landslides, severe storms, cyclones, etc.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
