Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is currently the focus of public attention. Therefore, accurate projections are essential for decision-makers to take action by costly mitigation and adaptation measures. As extreme weather values are the most important issue for society, only high-resolution models may succeed in projecting the future changes in frequency and intensity of high-impact weather events. The current computation power enables us to start projecting the future with convective resolving regional climate models (RCMs). These models may enhance the climate projection accuracy in areas with mesoscale features such as complex terrain and sea breeze. Furthermore, precipitation projections that currently suffer from coarse-scale parametrizations may resolve better convection regimes and give decision-makers a better projection of future precipitation patterns.
Manuscripts solicited in this Special Issue are in research areas including, but not limited to, the following topics:
- Convective permitting climate projections;
- Quantify the added value of high-resolution RCMs compared to CMIP data;
- Projection of changes in extreme events frequency and intensity;
- Natural variability compared to RCMs projections;
- Variability in RCMs past climate and projected climate;
- Statistical downscaling of high-resolution RCMs.

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.
