Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The evolution of meteorological disasters (such as tropical cyclones, droughts, floods, heat waves, etc.) is driven by multiple factors, including short-term weather processes, climate variability (such as El Niño, Pacific Decadal Oscillation, etc.), and long-term climate change. Therefore, it is very important and necessary to understand the interaction of these different-scale processes and analyze the impact of climate change on the frequency and intensity changes in meteorological disaster events.
This Special Issue aims to collect cutting-edge methods, challenges, and applications in meteorological forecasting, climate modeling, and prediction, promoting the cross-integration of multi-scale research and providing scientific support for disaster prevention and mitigation, as well as climate policies. Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- The impact of multiple climate indicators on the change in meteorological events;
- Forecasting and numerical simulation of extreme meteorological events (rainstorms, drought, heat waves, cold waves, typhoons, etc.);
- High-resolution numerical weather forecasting and climate prediction;
- Aerosol-cloud-precipitation interaction;
- Analysis of severe weather mechanisms such as convective system organization;
- Cloud microphysics, boundary layer processes, and parameterization schemes;
- Observation and simulation of atmospheric physical processes;
- Simulation of complex systems in coupled model (ocean–atmosphere–land).

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. Climate 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 1800 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.
