Hydrological Responses under Climate Changes

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Atmosphere is launching a Special Issue on the research topic of “Hydrological Responses Under Climate Changes” and is inviting researchers from world-leading universities and research institutions to contribute their research achievements in this field.

In the last half century, climate change has been increasingly impacting the hydrological cycle. It therefore raised several questions: (1) what hydrological responses are, (2) what their causes are, and (3) how to predict them. Focusing on these questions, this Special Issue prepares to publish state-of-the-art research articles or review papers that detect changes in hydrological elements on different spatial and temporal scales, revealing the causes for the changes using different methods, and proposing prediction methods for hydrological elements under climate changes.

The Special Issue covers the following topics:

1. Observed Changes and Variations in Climatic and Hydrological Elements;
2. Hydrological extremes, such as flood and drought, under climate changes;
3. Climate change impacts on runoff, evaporation, surface/ground water systems, etc.;
4. New methods and technologies for investigating hydrological and eco-hydrological responses to climate changes;
5. Hydrological prediction under climate 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 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).
