Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue of Atmosphere will be devoted to the advances that have been made in our knowledge, understanding, and forecasting of atmospheric circulation and precipitation and the impacts on society. There is no doubt that one of the most critical components of the Earth System is water in its various forms. Where it is, how much it is, how it gets there – all impacts life on Earth. In light of a changing climate, we are experiencing new norms of precipitation. This issue will enrich our understanding of the latest developments in our understanding and capabilities in forecasting precipitation.
The ability to provide sophisticated forecasts of extreme events has become an essential tool for preparing and responding to what often is too much water in the wrong places. Likewise it is increasingly important for human security to determine when and where drought conditions will occur. Pressure is being applied to science to extend forecasting capabilities to seasonal time scales. What new science is needed to address these issues?
I would like to invite you to submit articles about your recent work that addresses this topic. Suggested topics include:
- Advances in observing atmosphere, ocean, and land processes that impact process understanding of precipitating systems, ie atmospheric rivers
- Advances in modelling atmospheric circulation and precipitation systems and incorporation into forecasts of extreme events (too much water, not enough water)
- Changes in precipitation patterns associated with climate change including multiple stressor events
- Impacts (financial, social, etc) on economies and human security systems (food, drinking water, ecosystems)
I also encourage you to send me a short abstract outlining your topic and principal results, in order to verify at an early stage if the contribution you intend to submit fits with the objectives of the Special Issue.
Dr. Susan K. Avery
