Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Typhoons or Hurricanes are one of the most destructive severe weather systems, often accompanied by violent storms, causing huge casualties and economic losses. There is growing public concern about the Climate changes in tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the context of global warming. Meanwhile, the TC-related climate research has been an important issue in the scientific reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and a well-established research field in the past decade. In particular, are TCs or Typhoons moving slower and intensifying faster in a warming climate?—That is a question remains controversial. Many studies have suggested the importance of interactions among three oceans in modulating TC activity, especially from the perspective of large-scale ocean–climate variability, such as the El Niño/Southern Oscillation (Modoki), Indian Ocean Dipole, Tropical Atlantic Variability, Pacific Meridional Mode and North Atlantic Oscillation, etc. However, global ocean and climate dynamic processes have also exhibited considerable changes under greenhouse warming. Thus, understanding natural variability and anthropogenic forcing are needed further continuous research. In this context, this special issue will provide a platform to share the recent developments in these areas about global or regional TC/Typhoon activity with a broader research community, by addressing the outstanding scientific questions in the field of Ocean-Land-Atmosphere research.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
