Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Improved precipitation monitoring and prediction are fundamental to understanding regional and global hydrological processes, flash flood protection, emergency preparedness, etc. However, it is still difficult to acquire accurate and timely precipitation information in urban and coastal regions. To cope with these potential threats of extreme precipitation and associated hazards, deterministic or probabilistic precipitation methods have been proposed and utilized. Multi-source observation techniques have been developed, including gauge, weather radar, and satellite. Precipitation forecasting models based on deterministic or probabilistic theory and techniques have also been proved to be successful. These are the cases not only in vast inland areas but also in the urban and coastal regions. Therefore, the journal Atmosphere is dedicating this Special Issue to investigating precipitation analysis and modeling in urban and coastal areas.
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of Atmosphere with original research and review articles on topics including but not limited to:
- Developing precipitation products based on gauge, weather radar, satellite, and other observation systems;
- Comparing observed and multi-model simulated precipitation results;
- Analyzing precipitation trends/changes based on the specific weather systems or statistics on climate scales;
- Forecasting or nowcasting a short-term precipitation event;
- Evaluating the impacts of the urban environment, anthropic activities, and climate changes on precipitation processes;
- Projecting future precipitation and evaluating the impacts under different climate change scenarios;
- Modeling the response of an urban or coastal area to the hazard 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 2000 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.
