Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tropical cyclones (TCs), which develop over warm tropical oceans, are among the most destructive natural phenomena. The associated strong winds and heavy precipitation concentrated around the TC center can cause serious casualties and significant economic losses in coastal areas, especially where such systems make landfall. Therefore, TC forecasting has been an area of active scientific research for decades. However, their prediction remains difficult in the fields of research and operational forecasting because their mechanism is not fully understood. One of the reasons is that high-quality observation data have not been fully analyzed. In particular, in air–sea fluxes, severe convection around the eyewall plays an important role in TC intensification, which should be attributed to TC dynamics. Therefore, observational and numerical research on TC dynamics is crucial for TC forecasting.
For this Special Issue, we invite original and review articles to advance our understanding of TC observation and prediction; topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) new developments in observation and modeling; (2) new developments in theory and forecasting; (3) air–sea interactions and cloud microphysics in TCs; (4) variation in TC tracking; (5) tropical cyclogenesis; (6) life cycle of TCs; (7) substructure and asymmetry of the eyewall; and (8) rainbands and eyewall preplacement.

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.
