New Perspectives in Climate Modelling and Forecasting

Dear Colleagues,

Climate models are widely used to understand and predict the evolution of the climate system. They use quantitative methods to simulate the interactions of the important drivers of climate, including astronomical conditions as well as atmosphere, oceans, land surface and ice.

Although climate models have been improving in accuracy and efficiency over the past few decades, they still represent a complex endeavor and, due to the large number of involved processes and the interactions among them, spread across climate projections for given future scenarios persist. For these reasons, there is an urgent need to improve their accuracy to provide more confident assessments of the future risks associated with both natural climate variability and human-induced climate change.

Therefore, we welcome the submission of papers covering any aspects of the application of climate models and achievements in accuracy improvement in climate modelling.

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 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. 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.
