Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The atmosphere, ocean and land has been warmed and many changes in the climate system become larger in direct relation to increasing global warming, according to AR6 of IPCC. Whether the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TC) have changed or will change in a warming climate is an important issue, particularly owing to the large societal impacts. However, the subject of considerable investigation is often with conflicting results. The role of cloud–radiation is argued to be critical in TC development, but it remains unclear how clouds will change with global warming and feed back to climate sensitivity. This Special Issue features studies addressing the interaction of cloud–radiation feedback and dynamics in TC genesis and development on different spatial-temporal scales from the globe to storm.
The Special Issue also welcomes original research or review articles outlining how the ocean-atmosphere-land system responses to the global warming and natural varibability and influences TC activity and impacts. In particular, other areas are covered including risk assessment and regional adaptation strategy for TC hazard, and implication of sustainability. We will dedicate this Special Issue to provide state-of-the-art and next generation efforts to advance our understanding of the response of TC genesis and development to climate change from the aspect of interaction between cloud–radiation feedback and TC dynamics.
This Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Role of cloud–radiation interaction in TC
- Dynamics of TC genesis and development
- Climate change and its impact to TC activities
- Impact of ocean-atmosphere-land interaction to TC
- Risk assessment and regional adaptation strategy for TC hazard

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
