Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to collect state-of-the-art contributions on interdisciplinary applications of mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) models for the study of atmospheric physical processes related to severe weather conditions and extreme events.
A wide range of weather-related topics and techniques are welcome. Possible topics include but are not limited to: heavy precipitation systems and triggering mechanisms, floods, landslides, supercell thunderstorms, windstorms, tornados and downbursts, convection initiation, mesoscale convective systems, statistical analysis, model verification and performance, impact of data assimilation techniques on the model performance at different forecast ranges, model sensitivity tests, etc.
Studies based on coupled modeling systems are considered very useful, due to the important role of the mesoscale NWP models in driving (or being coupled to) other Earth-science-related numerical tools, such as modeling systems devoted to oceanography, hydrology, air quality, regional climate, etc.
A perspective related to climate change is also encouraged, in order to discuss a possible increase, in both intensity and frequency, of severe weather events.

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.
