Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The hazards of meteorological changes appear in various forms on the Earth's surface. In particular, many natural disasters such as wave deformation, storm surges, wave overtopping, and coastal erosion/deposition due to changes in the weather force are continuously repeated on the coast. Efforts to predict and reduce these environmental risks changes have continued over the past centuries, but in recent years, with the help of state-of-the-art observation equipment and using artificial intelligence (AI), we are making rapid progress compared to the past. Along with the rise in sea levels, people around the world should seek effective countermeasures against coastal risks and environmental changes that appear as the final change in weather factors should be deeply investigated.

We invite the submission of original research articles and reviews on any aspect of atmosphere–sea interactions on the coastal zone, including (but not limited to) extreme waves, wave deformation, rip currents, storm surges, meteotsunamis, wave overtopping, erosion, and deposition and so on, and their variations across space and time. We encourage studies using the most recent technology such as big data analyses informed by ocean weather buoys, extreme wave predictions using AI, real-time forecasting storm surges and/or wave overtopping, and numerical modeling focusing on the coastal zone air–sea interactions. We also welcome studies in observational and reanalysis data to address long-term variations of coastal zone environment due to atmospheric changes.

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.

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.

Trade winds are common in the Canary Islands archipelago and affect not only the weather of the islands but also the local wave climate. On the other hand, the arrival in the Canaries of swells from the Southern Hemisphere is little known, but usual. The records of these swells arriving in the Canary Islands have two clear peaks throughout the year, one in spring and the other in autumn. In this work, how the trade winds influence the detection of this type of swells is studied. It is estimated that only approximately half of this type of wave that reaches the Canary Islands could be adequately recorded in the buoy output data tables by the action of these winds. Therefore, their effects may be underestimated in local wave climate studies. Full article

This paper evaluates the contribution of waves to the total predicted storm surges in a Hurricane Irma hindcast, using ADCIRC+SWAN and ADCIRC models. The contribution of waves is quantified by subtracting the water levels hindcasted by ADCIRC from those hindcasted by ADCIRC+SWAN, using OWI meteorological forcing in both models. Databases of water level time series, wave characteristic time series, and high-water marks are used to validate the model performance. Based on the application of our methodology to the coastline around Florida, a peninsula with unique geomorphic characteristics, we find that wave runup has the largest contribution to the total water levels on the south and northeast coasts. Waves increase the surge on the south and northeast coasts, due to large fetch and wave runups. On the west coast, the wave effect is not significant, due to limited fetch. However, significant wave heights become greater as the waves propagate into the deep inner gulf. The continental shelf on Florida’s west coast plays a critical role in decreasing the significant wave height and sheltering the coastal areas from large wave effects. Both models underpredict the high-water marks, but ADCIRC+SWAN reduces the underprediction and improves the parity with the observed data, although the scatter is slightly higher than that of ADCIRC.
