Modelling and Forecasting Extreme Climate Events

Dear Colleagues,

As the world’s climate changes, extreme events are becoming more frequent and intense. Nowadays, the current state-of-the-art climate models consist of fundamental tools for analyzing and predicting climate and weather extremes. The accuracy of climate models’ simulations is high for long-duration extremes (mainly monthly or seasonal scales). In contrast, there is great insufficiency due to uncertainty around high-resolution and short-timescale extreme events. Hence, understanding the mechanisms leading to the occurrence of climate and weather extremes will be the basis for assessing their predictability and enabling their prediction.

This Special Issue of Climate is devoted to promoting advances in understanding, modeling, and predicting climate extremes. Pertinent examples of topics for this Special Issue include types of extreme; the frequency, intensity and duration of climate extremes; observed and projected climate extremes; short- and medium-range forecasts of weather extremes; modeling impacts of weather and climate extremes; statistical aspects of extremes; case studies of extreme events; and sensitivity experiments for extremes prediction.

The Special Issue “Modelling and Forecasting Extreme Climate Events” is jointly organized between “Climate” and “Earth” journals. Contributors are required to check the website below and follow the specific instructions for authors:

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. Earth is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1400 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.
