%X The call for papers was announced with this rationale (cf. https://www.frontiersin.org/re-search-topics/39396/modelling-simulating-and-forecasting-regional-climate-and-weather—volume-ii). The atmospheric dynamics is essentially the manifestation of a global machinery, within which larger scales are mostly conditioning smaller scales (the downscaling concept), and local processes feedback on the global scale in a statistical sense, often described by parameterizations.,However, the regional and local scales matter in terms of the impact of climate and weather on people and ecosystems. Therefore, the scientific development in the last years was mostly in two directions–towards global Earth system models, and towards the description of regional and local dynamics, and more and more so on the regional and local impact of climate and climate change. The present Research Topic deals with the latter.
