Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme events, such as extreme heavy precipitation and heatwaves, are usually associated with economic loss and have great impacts on human health. Following global warming, we are expected to have more frequent extreme events. For example, the warming may directly lead to an increase in the frequency of heatwaves, and the increase in temperature will increase the water holding capacity in the air that may substantially lead to the forming of extremely heavy precipitation events. However, we still lack knowledge of the mechanisms behind some of these extreme events, due to which the prediction/forecasting of extreme events is always a big challenge. Analyzing past extreme events and their mechanisms behind them is key to predicting/forecasting the occurrence and intensity of extreme events.
For this Special Issue, contributions are sought which analyze and help to understand the past variation of extreme events, such as extreme heavy precipitation and heatwaves. Both long-term analyses and case studies of extreme events based on observations and model simulations are welcome. A special focus is on understanding the mechanisms behind extreme events. We would like to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue. Submissions are encouraged to cover a wide range of topics, which may include but are not limited to the following:
- Heavy precipitation;
- Heatwave;
- Typhoon;
- Drought.
