Atmospheric Flows

Dear Colleagues,

Continuous efforts have focused on studying atmospheric flows, largely due to the never-ending attempt to improve the performance of numerical weather prediction (NWP) and climate models. It is near impossible to carry out such work without performing measurements and simulations of atmospheric flows and subjecting those two to a synergy. While NWP and climate models can successfully simulate the large-scale dynamics of atmospheric flows today, microscale dynamics and turbulence still represent a great need for improvement through the revision of existing and development of novel turbulence parameterization schemes. This Special Issue will focus on the challenges we encounter in microscale dynamics, which are associated with the study of atmospheric flows over complex terrain, such as downslope winds with mountain wave breaking, extreme gusts, and lee rotors; up- and down-valley flows; extremely stable and unstable boundary layers; near-surface coherent structures; revisiting existing and/or proposing new surface scaling equations considering the (non)stationarity of data; etc.

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. Fluids 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.
