Theoretical and Applied Climatology offers the latest and most significant developments from worldwide studies in climate, atmosphere and meteorology.
The increasing frequency and intensity of climate extremes, coupled with rapid global urbanization, creates an urgent need for integrated research that bridges physical climate science with urban planning and socio-economic analysis. This collection addresses the critical knowledge gap between understanding extreme weather processes and implementing effective urban resilience strategies, providing a platform for interdisciplinary research that can inform evidence-based adaptation policies and practices. The collection will advance interdisciplinary collaboration between climate scientists, urban planners, engineers, and social scientists, fostering methodological innovations in coupled human-natural systems research. It will contribute to improved urban climate modelling capabilities, enhanced understanding of climate-society interactions, and development of transferable adaptation strategies. The research will also inform international climate assessment reports and support evidence-based policy development for urban climate resilience. This collection primarily addresses urban climatology and applied climatology, with significant contributions from mesoscale meteorology, climate extremes research, and climate impact assessment. It encompasses urban boundary layer dynamics, heat island effects, precipitation patterns in urban environments, and the modification of extreme weather events by urban morphology, while integrating these physical processes with adaptation science and climate services.

Solomon H. Gebrechorkos
Dr. Solomon Gebrechorkos is a hydroclimatologist at the University of Oxford. His research focuses on climate change and variability, hydroclimate extremes, land–atmosphere–ocean interactions, and climate change attribution from global to local scales. He develops high-resolution hydroclimate datasets and applies integrated climate–hydrological models to assess the impacts of global warming on drought, water, food, and health security.
