Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
An aerosol’s concentration and vertical height in the atmosphere determine its effect on atmospheric composition and cloud changes, while upper and middle clouds also act on atmospheric changes in various ways at different horizontal and vertical scales. Remote sensing technology and remote sensing data, as powerful tools for studying the radiative forcing and energy budget balance of aerosols and clouds, can more intuitively observe the three-dimensional structural effects and change patterns of clouds, aerosols, and atmosphere on different spatial scales. At the same time, with the development of urbanization, the future environment and climate are also facing great threats, so the change patterns of clouds and aerosols in the atmospheric system are worth further study.
This Special Issue aims to document observations and understanding of complex atmospheric-meteorological mechanisms in the middle and upper layers, obtained through remote sensing methods, particularly horizontal- and vertical-scale changes caused by clouds and aerosols in global climate models. Topics include, but are not limited to, observations of the Earth–atmosphere–climate system based on remote sensing and satellite products, as well as various related research results.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
