Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Cutting-Edge Research in Severe Weather Forecast’, aims to bring together cutting-edge research on the prediction, modeling, and analysis of severe weather events, including tropical cyclones, tornadoes, thunderstorms, blizzards, and extreme precipitation. The accurate forecasting of these events is critical for mitigating risks to life and property. We welcome contributions that leverage numerical weather prediction, machine learning, data assimilation, and observational techniques to improve forecasting accuracy and lead time. Studies exploring novel visualization methods, risk communication strategies, and the integration of high-resolution simulations with real-world applications are also encouraged. This issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among meteorologists, climate scientists, emergency managers, and policymakers to enhance our ability to predict and respond to severe weather threats.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Atmosphere 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 2400 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.
