Extreme Precipitation and Floods under a Changing Climate

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change is known to significantly influence the structure and function of the hydrologic cycle along with its interplay with the overall earth system dynamics. In the present special issue we focus on why and how a changing climate affects extreme precipitation and flood regimes, extremes and associated risks, over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales.

Studies are welcome on methodologically and/or applied, physical principle based and/or data analysis-based research from local to global scales.

Of special interest is also the development and implementation of novel statistical, dynamic and hybrid methodologies for spatiotemporal analysis, modelling and decision support regarding the detection, attribution and prediction of extreme precipitation and/or floods relative to changes in climate-related controls. These include for example changes in ocean-atmospheric circulation and thermodynamics, changes in land-atmosphere interactions and energy budget, changes in hydrological extremes, statistical, dynamical and hybrid risk assessment for precipitation and flood extremes under climatic changes.

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. Hydrology 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.
