Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate variability, which operates across diverse timescales that range from seasons to millennia, presents complex patterns that require rigorous statistical analysis to differentiate natural fluctuations from anthropogenic signals and to improve predictive capabilities. This Special Issue focuses on the application of advanced statistical methodologies for the characterization, modeling, and prediction of climate variability. We welcome contributions that explore novel statistical techniques for analyzing climate data, including time series analysis, change point detection, the minimum description length principle, Tikhonov’s regularization, the penalty function method, spatiotemporal statistics, statistical information theory, ordinal symbolic mapping, principal component analysis, and machine learning. The scope of this Special Issue encompasses the detection and attribution of climate variability drivers, the development of statistical climate models, the analysis of climate extremes and their statistical properties, and the use of statistical approaches to enhance climate forecasts and projections across different spatiotemporal scales.

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-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.
