Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Seasonal weather and climate extreme events, such as hurricanes, heatwaves, droughts, and floods, can have a significant impact on society and the environment. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the frequency and intensity of such events, which can lead to significant economic losses, social disruption, and environmental damage. Understanding the underlying mechanisms that drive these events and improving our ability to forecast them is critical for effective planning and management.
The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together research on the latest advances in understanding and forecasting seasonal weather and extreme climate events. We seek to showcase original research, review papers, and perspectives on the role of climate variability and change in driving these events, advanced statistical and dynamical modeling techniques for predicting them, and the mechanisms that lead to their development and intensification. In addition, we aim to explore the impacts of these events on human health, agriculture, and ecosystems, as well as the climate services and decision-making tools that can support adaptation and mitigation strategies in the face of such extreme events.
This Special Issue welcomes original research, review papers, and perspectives on the following topics:
- The role of climate variability and change in driving seasonal weather and climate extreme events.
- Advanced statistical and dynamical modeling techniques for predicting seasonal weather and climate extreme events.
- Understanding the mechanisms that lead to the development and intensification of seasonal weather and climate extreme events.
- Impacts of seasonal weather and climate extreme events on human health, agriculture, and ecosystems.
- Climate services and decision-making tools to support adaptation and mitigation strategies in the face of seasonal weather and climate extreme events.
