Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Ocean–Atmosphere–Land Interactions and Their Roles in Climate Change” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/32JX05YZ4L).

The ocean, land and atmosphere are important components of the five spheres of the climate system, and sea–land–air interaction is an important driving force of climate change. Due to the complexity of the interaction processes between them, the mechanism of the interaction is yet to be understood. Nowadays, simulation and prediction ability in climate models in all countries are low, which directly restricts the improvement of climate prediction level. Therefore, in the context of global change, studying the mechanism and influence of sea–land–air interaction is a key way to understand climate anomalies, properly respond to global change, improve climate prediction levels, and improve disaster prevention and reduction.

This Special Issue invites contributions describing ocean–atmosphere–land interactions and their responses to climate change. Of special interest are processes of ocean–atmosphere dynamics and simulation methods, extreme weather events caused by climate change and their mechanisms, and the response of the marine environment to climate change. It is also concerned with the coupling mechanisms of land surface hydrology and climate (Including the impacts of climate change on hydrology and water resources, river geomorphological processes in response to global climate, and changes in river runoff, water, and sediment under the influence of climate change.). Additionally, it is also concerned with models and predictions of future atmosphere–ocean–land surfaces (hydrology, soil, ecology, etc.).

Hurricanes cause significant destruction, disrupting transportation, and resulting in loss of life and property. High-precision marine meteorological data are essential for understanding hurricanes. ERA5 provides high temporal resolution and global coverage of analytical data; however, the accuracy of the data during hurricanes is uncertain. To investigate the applicability of ERA5 during hurricanes, this study used buoy data as reference values and assessed the applicability of ERA5 sea-surface wind speed (WS), sea-surface temperature (SST), and sea-surface pressure (SSP) during the 2020 Atlantic hurricane “ISAIAS” through spatial distribution and error analysis. The results indicate that there is a positive correlation and consistency between the trends of ERA5 and reference values. The average correlation coefficients for SSP, WS, and SST are 0.953, 0.822, and 0.607, respectively. Nearshore topography has a significant impact on data accuracy, resulting in greater errors compared to open-water areas. This study provides a theoretical basis for the application of ERA5 data during hurricanes. Full article
