Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The frequency of heavy precipitation/climate extreme events have increased over time and is projected to increase across the globe under future climate change. Increases in extreme precipitation have contributed to increase severe flooding events in certain regions of the world. Floods and flooding associated with tropical storms result the highest number of deaths. In addition to the immediate health hazards associated with extreme precipitation events when flooding occurs, other hazards can often appear once a storm has passed. At the opposite end of precipitation extremes, drought also poses risks to public health and safety. Drought conditions may increase the environmental exposure to a broad set of health hazards including wildfires, dust storms, extreme heat events, flash flooding, degraded water quality, and reduced water quantity.
This special issue welcomes all those manuscripts presenting-
- Climate extremes and their impact
- Extreme precipitation
- Floods
- Cyclones and cyclone induced rainfall
- Drought
- Role of climate variability and modes—El Nino Southern Oscillation, Indian Ocean Dipole, North Atlantic Oscillation, Arctic Oscillation, Antarctic Oscillation and so on
- Statistical methods

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.
