Climate Change and Climate Variability, and Their Impact on Extreme Events (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Climate Change and Climate Variability, and Their Impact on Extreme Events” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/climate_change_and_variability). Our goal is to collectively advance the understanding of climate-related challenges and foster informed decision making for a sustainable future.

In the present climate scenario, the consequences of climate change and climate variability are of great concern around the world, particularly their impact on extreme weather and mesoscale events, which consequently affect all sectors including habitats, the economy, health, water, and agriculture. Thus, understanding the pattern of climate change and climate variability has been the focus of many researchers, and many efforts are underway to better frame the consequences of their future impacts. To further our understanding of climate patterns and variations at global or regional scales, this Special Issue of Atmosphere seeks contributions on observational and numerical modelling studies to enhance the understanding of the global or regional climate patterns and variations over time in some measures of climate. This issue also encourages articles that discuss a regional or global analysis of extreme weather and mesoscale events and their response to the ongoing trends in climate change and climate variability. Contributions with model simulations and evaluations for a deeper understanding of the physics and dynamics associated with climate-change-related weather hazards will also be considered. Submissions in, but not limited to, the following research areas are invited:

• Climate change;
• Climate variability;
• Extreme events;
• Climate modelling;
• Hydroclimate;
• Hydrometeorology.

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.
