Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are often accompanied by strong winds and torrential rains, with a wide-ranging influence and great destructive power, especially in coastal areas, making them a disastrous weather system. However, TCs can also bring rain to some areas suffering from drought. In addition, a significant portion of the annual rainfall in many areas comes from TCs. TCs can also provide energy for wind-power generation in coastal areas and maintain the balance between global heat and momentum. Therefore, studying the evolution and mechanism of the winds and precipitation induced by TCs is very important for regional disaster prevention and mitigation, efficient energy use, as well as regional sustainable development.
This Special Issue is devoted to forecasting and modeling the wind, rainfall, and storm surges caused by TCs: three sources of damage for human beings. The intensity, spatial distribution, and duration of TC-induced disasters are related to the intensity, location, structure, and external environmental background of the TCs. Exploring and clarifying the mechanism of these factors will help to improve the accurate forecasting of TC-induced disasters. Furthermore, it will help wind-energy generation and avoid the risk associated with offshore wind farms.
Potential contributions to this Special Issue include TC studies focusing on climatology and meteorology, both regionally and globally, ranging from synoptic scales to small physics scales. Analyses may include global or mesoscale numerical weather prediction systems; field campaign studies; satellite, air, sea, or ground-base observations; and/or other idealized, statistical, or historical data. Modeling can apply to mathematical algorithms, statistical methods, numerical model simulation, and artificial intelligence models. Manuscripts in this collection should provide scientific insight into some aspects of TCs’ structure and involvement, and the induced wind, rainfall, and storm surges, providing a better understanding of how and why these natural events occur.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
