Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The assessment of threats related to urban floods, in the conditions of a changing climate, is necessary for the rational storm water management of cities. Rainfall data have a decisive impact on the results of hydrodynamic modeling of urban drainage systems and flood risk assessment. It is therefore obvious that we must strive to provide the most accurate rainfall models, based on comprehensive analyses of available precipitation data at the regional level. Despite the research conducted so far on design rainfalls, there are still aspects that need to be raised and discussed. This Special Issue aims to broaden our knowledge of current research on the temporal and spatial variability of precipitation in the context of storm water and urban flood risk management. In particular, the following topics are of interest:
- Current and future precipitation models;
- Temporal and spatial rainfall distribution;
- Impact of climate change on rainfall characteristics;
- Statistical analysis of precipitation data;
- Future rainfall scenarios for urban drainage modeling;
- Defining rainfall hyetographs;
- Factors affecting local design storms;
- Verification of precipitation patterns;
- Flood risk management in the aspect of climate change;
- Past and future climate change impacts on precipitation extremes;
- Hazard mitigation and adaptation strategies.

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.
