Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model

Dear colleagues,

The weather research and forecasting model is playing a key role in the NWP history of the 21st century. Its impact on meteorology and atmospheric science research is demonstrated by the increasing number of articles published in peer-reviewed journals during the last decade. From a NWP perspective, the progressive evolution from single to ensemble forecasting paradigms and the availability of new observation data bases—such as the increasing satellite products—are contributing to the development of new validation techniques. Moreover, in recent years the WRF model has provided new capabilities for different applications in hydrology, the emission and transport of aerosols, severe weather events or the regional climate. This Special Issue offers the opportunity to publish quality articles on WRF model from a broad perspective, including mesoscale processes; severe precipitation and wind episodes; data assimilation; physical parameterization schemes; probabilistic forecast; validation; regional climate or chemical, hydrological and atmosphere–ocean interactions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
