Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change is a mounting stress on human societies and natural systems, and its influence on the hydrological cycle is unneglectable. Rising global temperature leads to an increased evaporation rate, speeding up parts of the water cycle with more precipitation and even increasing the likelihood of coastal flooding. However, enhanced evaporation can reduce surface water and contribute to drought. Human-caused climate change can foster changes in the location, frequency, and intensity of hydroclimate extremes. To facilitate emergency response and mitigate socio-economic loss, it is necessary to advance the current understanding of the mechanisms and processes that contribute to the impacts of climate change on hydrologic variables, such as precipitation, moisture transport, and soil moisture. This Special Issue focuses on climate change impacts on the hydrological cycle, including hydrometeorological interaction and hydroclimate extremes. Potential submissions include, but are not limited to, observational analysis; mechanisms and processes study; the assessment of projection uncertainties; the assessment of regional and spatial dependencies; and approaches to quantify the future changes in hydroclimate extremes.

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. Climate 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.
