Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Hydrometeorological extremes unequivocally lead to significant ecological, economic, and societal consequences. The intricate nature of hydrological processes stems from complex interactions among meteorological factors, land use, and soil mechanisms, which can present challenges in reliable modeling. However, the simulation and prediction of hydrometeorological phenomena are essential for accurately forecasting the state of and variations in key elements such as evapotranspiration, precipitation, air temperature, humidity, soil moisture, river streamflow, and groundwater levels across various spatial and temporal scales. To successfully develop robust preparation and mitigation strategies against these impacts, it is imperative to obtain precise local and spatial estimates regarding the frequency, magnitude, and potential effects of such extremes under both current and future conditions. Hydrometeorological simulation and prediction harness advanced climate and hydrological models, forming a solid scientific foundation to anticipate natural hazards, including cyclones, heatwaves, frosts, and other extreme weather events. Additionally, these models are vital tools for effectively managing risks associated with floods, droughts, irrigation practices, water management, reservoir operations, and a broad range of other applications.
This Special Issue aims to advance the state of the art in hydrometeorological simulation and prediction, focusing on how inputs from hydrometeorological elements can be translated into hydrological outputs. We welcome the research and scientific community to contribute innovative studies. Potential topics for submission include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The analysis of hydrometeorological extremes;
- Assessments of hydrometeorological hazards and risks;
- Hydrological simulations in areas with limited observational data;
- Applications of satellite remote sensing, big data mining, and artificial intelligence in hydrometeorology;
- Enhancements to operational hydrometeorological forecasting methods;
- Uncertainty in hydrometeorological simulations;
- Hydrologic models that convert meteorological inputs into hydrological outputs;
- Approaches for characterizing uncertainty in hydrological model outputs;
- Stochastic simulations;
- The development of novel datasets for various components of risk;
- Predictions in ungauged basins;
- Multivariate frequency analyses;
- The assessment of regional and spatial dependencies;
- Understanding the physical processes behind extremes and quantifying their potential future changes.

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.
