Special Issue Information
The global climate has experienced a dramatic change in recent decades, a phenomenon known as global warming. Climate change intensifies the global and regional water cycle, leading to significant changes in precipitation, evapotranspiration, streamflow, and water storage. Understanding the water cycle change and its causes at different spatiotemporal scales is crucial for climate change assessments and water resources management. However, the mechanisms of water cycle change, especially for quantitative causes, have not been fully understood yet. Therefore, it is important and necessary to quantify the impacts of climate change, as well as other anthropogenic factors on the water cycle, such as streamflow, evapotranspiration, floods, and drought.
This Special Issue provides a platform for studying the water cycle and its response to climate change, especially anthropogenic climate change. We sincerely invite researchers to contribute the latest research in terms of the water cycle and climate change. We encourage research manuscripts to focus on the following (not exclusive) topics:
(1) Contributions of climate change to the water cycle;
(2) Streamflow simulation and attribution;
(3) Floods and drought change and mechanisms;
(4) Anthropogenic climate change detection in the water cycle;
(5) Predictions of the future hydrological change.

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.
