Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Numerical models are essential tools for understanding the complex interactions between the atmosphere, land, and marine surfaces, offering vital insights into extreme events like storms, floods, heatwaves, and droughts. As the frequency and intensity of such events increase due to climate change, understanding their underlying physical mechanisms and predicting their development have become more important and challenging than ever. This Special Issue will focus on the application of numerical modeling to extreme weather events and their broader implications for climate change. We expect contributions to explore various types of models, ranging from global and regional climate models to high-resolution, process-based simulations. Topics might include advancements in model accuracy, uncertainty quantification, the role of coupled systems, and the integration of artificial intelligence and ensemble approaches to enhance model capabilities. The Special Issue is anticipated to demonstrate how these models not only improve forecasting but also assess climate change risks, inform policy, and guide adaptation strategies. By presenting these studies, we aim to deepen our understanding of extreme weather in a changing climate and address the challenges and future directions in this area of research. This collection seeks to advance both the science and application of numerical models in responding to climate-related extreme events.

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.
