About this Research Topic
Researchers and practitioners are invited to contribute to the scholarly discourse of this debut Research Topic within Frontiers in Climate’s Climate Monitoring section. This special collection places a particular focus on temperature and hydrometeorological extremes. The tremendous importance and influence of climate change and climate variability underscores the need to gain an understanding of how changes amongst atmospheric circulation might affect temperature and hydrometeorological extremes all over the world.
We invite the submission of original research articles and reviews on any aspect of temperature and hydrometeorological extremes over different regions, particularly those with a focus on:
• Temperature and hydrometeorological extremes as heatwaves, snowstorms, flooding and droughts
• Temperature and hydrometeorological extremes in the context of moisture transport, convective interactions with large-scale forcing, and tropical intraseasonal oscillations
• Temperature and hydrometeorological extremes as they relate to different types of El Niño and their effects
• Studies resulting from experimental campaigns, long-term observations or model simulations that focus on climate variability and its relationship with different climates
• Risk assessment and societal impacts of extreme temperature or hydrometeorological events

Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
