Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue in Atmosphere entitled “The impact of data assimilation on severe weather forecast”. For this Special Issue, we are inviting the submission of papers concerning different techniques, new or well-established, for data assimilation and their impact on forecasting meteorological parameters, especially precipitation.
Forecast time ranges can span from nowcasting to the sub-seasonal time scale or longer. This Special Issue will focus in particular on deterministic forecasts, ensemble forecasting, and ensemble data assimilation systems.
Papers considering sensitivity tests and hindcast studies using data assimilation are welcome, as well as specific case studies addressing the impact of data assimilation on weather forecasting or assessing its long-term performance; in the latter case, analysis is not limited to severe weather.
The main focus of this Special Issue is numerical weather prediction models with data assimilation; however, other modeling systems may be considered. The impact of data assimilation on different observations (atmospheric/surface/soil) can also be explored.

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 2000 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.
