Special Issue on Meteorological Disasters

Meteorological disasters are caused by extreme weather. This special issue deals with the study of natural hazards of hydro-meteorological origin and the mitigation of their effects. Among these hazards – the results of natural processes or phenomena of atmospheric, hydrological or oceanographic nature - are floods, tropical cyclones, drought and desertification. Due to global climate change these natural hazards are expected to rise. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in this area of meteorological disasters.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring meteorological disasters. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Droughts and floods
• Hurricanes and tropical storms
• A tropical cyclone ;The typhoon 
• Lightning and wildfires
• Heat waves and cold waves
• The high temperature
• Mitigation measures of meteorological disasters

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Meteorological Disasters” should be chosen during your submission.
