The atmosphere is constantly exposed to a large number of processes and phenomena that occur both in the Earth's layers and in outer space. Any disruption in the internal and/or external forcing factors has countless manifestations with predictive and unpredicted development scenarios. For this reason, the monitoring and understanding of Spatio-temporal atmospheric changes are important for research in a number of scientific disciplines. These researches contribute to the indirect detection of the observed phenomena, as well as the reaction of the Earth’s outer mantle to the presence of observed phenomena, or to the change in the characteristics of their influence. In addition, changes in the atmosphere as a medium, in which other processes take place (for example, propagation of electromagnetic signals or development of living organisms), have an impact on various technologies in modern life. In particular this is in reference to the study of spatial and temporal distributions of atmospheric parameters, demonstrating their practical importance in various fields.
Examining the relationship between atmospheric processes and natural disasters is of significant importance and remains the focus of numerous studies. Understanding this relationship could help to save human lives, which highlights why these investigations are of the greatest interest. In relation to this, research devoted to the processes causing the formation and development of atmospheric disturbances like cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, etc., and their resulting hazards (i.e. intense precipitation, flooding events, pressure imbalances, storms, landslides, wildfires, etc.,) are especially welcome to this Research Topic.
In-situ measurements and remote sensing allow the detection of short-term and long-term changes in the atmosphere. As never before, numerous high-quality data products, numerical and theoretical models, and remote sensing tools have enabled us to have a more thorough understanding of space and terrestrial weather. As well as this, these technologies can help to identify the driving factors of atmospheric disturbances.
The aim of this Research Topic is to present contemporary research on periodical and sudden atmospheric disturbances which are related, but not limited, to:
• Monitoring, modeling, and theoretical explanation of atmospheric disturbances.
• The indirect detection of various phenomena and processes based on changes in the atmosphere.
• The impact of terrestrial and extraterrestrial phenomena on the Earth's atmosphere.
• Variations of atmospheric parameters in the period around the natural disaster.
• Analysis of the processes that take place under changing atmospheric conditions.
