Advances in Hazardous Weather Prediction: Data Assimilation, Numerical Model and Tools

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Short-range (0–6 hour) weather forecasts have made significant progress recently for hazardous weather events including tornados, hails, flash flooding and damaging winds, etc. This is highly accredited to the advances in data assimilation (DA) algorithms and the application of radar/satellite observation data, the development with the convective-allowing models (CAMs), the utilization of high-performance computers, and the development of AI techniques. This Special Issue seeks submissions on the following topics that are related to the improvement of forecasts, warnings and decision support for high-impact thunderstorm events:

  • CAM development and application;
  • DA algorithms and application for new observation datasets;
  • high-performance computing in DA and CAMs;
  • applications of machine learning and AI techniques for hazardous event prediction;
  • development in verification method and data for hazardous events;
  • applications of other computing techniques for hazardous weather systems, such as workflow development, software management, 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 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
