Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide recent advances in the field of study on cyclonic activity change encompassing issues of changes in the past, revealing current tendencies and scenarios of changes in the near future. A key task for SI is gathering high-quality papers concerning seasonal- interannual-to-decadal variability of synoptic patterns that drive cyclones evolution; studies on extraction and interpretation of multidecadal trends are also welcomed. Expected future trends of cyclones frequency and intensity associated with the anthropogenic factors is the second task of SI. Besides, it is well-known that cyclones can cause extreme weather conditions and may trigger natural disasters. Therefore, special attention should be paid to study of extremes associated with cyclones, and this is the third task of SI. Actually, these problems should be solved using both various probabilistic and interdisciplinary methods of experimental data analysis, as well as numerical, stochastic and statistical modeling including outputs of CORDEX, CMIP6 etc.

Above tasks are very important not only from academic point of view, but also for a high number of applications which are also in the focus of the SI. Among them are sustainable agriculture, social infrastructure and recreational potential, optimal design and use of wind power plants, transport and maritime safety etc. The scope of these problems covers an essential part of issues to be resolved to attain optimal regional strategies for adaptation and sustainable planning all over the World.

Topics of interest for the Special Issue include but are not limited to:

  • Climatology of cyclones in the regions.
  • Climatology of extreme events associated to the cyclones/anticyclones
  • Low-frequency variability of cyclone/anticyclone activity associated with the global climate modes
  • Cyclone/anticyclone activity under the climate change
  • Methods and models for cyclonic climate analysis
  • Predictability of cyclonic activity change in the different regions
  • Practical applications
  • Scenarios of cyclonic activity change in the future.
  • Future extreme events associated with cyclonic activity
  • Low-frequency variability of future cyclonic activity associated with the global climate modes

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.

Irma was a major hurricane that developed during the 2017 season. It was a category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson Hurricane wind scale. This hurricane caused severe damage in the Caribbean area and the Florida Keys. The social, economic, and environmental impacts, mainly related to coastal flooding, were also significant in Cuba. The maximum limits of coastal flooding caused by this hurricane were determined in this research. Field trips and the use of the GPS supported our work, which focused on both the northern and southern coasts of the Ciego de Ávila province. This work has been critical for improving coastal flooding scenarios related to a strong hurricane, as it has been the first experience according to hurricane data since 1851. Results showed that the Punta Alegre and Júcaro towns were the most affected coastal towns. The locals had never seen similar flooding in these places before. The differences between flood areas associated with Hurricane Irma and previous modeled hazard scenarios were evident (the flooded areas associated with Hurricane Irma were smaller than those modeled for categories 1, 3, and 5 hurricanes). The effects of this hurricane on the most vulnerable coastal settlements, including the impacts on the archeological site “Los Buchillones”, were also assessed. Full article
