Characteristics and Attribution of Extreme Rainfall Events

Dear Colleagues,

Extreme rainfall events can cause enormous economic losses and reduce human safety and are one of the most catastrophic events in the word. Extreme rainfall events are occurring increasingly frequently due to global warming and are starting to receive more attention. These extreme rainfall events usually involve complex multiscale processes and controlling factors. How these complicated processes and factors contribute to the occurrence of extreme rainfall is still not fully understood at the regional and global scales. A deep understanding of the characteristics and attributes of the extreme rainfall events will greatly benefit both weather forecasting and climatic predictions.

This Special Issue encourages research papers that reveal the features or mechanisms of extreme rainfall from different perspectives, including statistical works, observations, multiscale dynamics analysis, numerical simulations, predictability and theoretical analysis. Case and climatology studies of extreme rainfall are both welcome. The relevant topics include but are not limited heavy rainfall, persistent rainfall, severe convection, extratropical and tropical cyclones, mesoscale convection systems, orographic rainfall, and extreme rainfall under climate change.

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-anonymized 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).
