Remote Sensing of Hydro-Meteorology

Dear Colleagues,

Extreme hydrometeorological events that occur naturally threaten and cause harm to lives and livelihoods and result in billions of dollars of damage worldwide every year. Their environmental impacts are equally catastrophic. Human activities may help prevent hydrometeorological hazards from turning into disasters but, in many situations, they may also exacerbate their impacts, e.g., through excessive development in coastal areas that increase risk exposure and community vulnerability. Moreover, climate change may be responsible for the increasing frequency and magnitude of atmospheric patterns that lead to more frequent and intense hydrometeorological disasters (e.g., severe storms, floods, and droughts).

This Special Issue will focus on “Remote sensing of Hydrologic Extremes”. We welcome novel research, reviews, and opinion pieces covering all related topics, including flood/drought monitoring, risk management and policy, hydrometeorological extremes and its impact on human-environment systems, frequency analysis, and vulnerability assessment for adaptation to climate change. Specific topics include, but are not limited to:

• Flood/drought, risk management, and policy: decision making under uncertainty
• Hydrometeorological extremes and its impact on human-environment systems
• Regional and nonstationary frequency analysis of extreme events
• Detection and prediction of hydrometeorological extremes with observational and model-based approaches
• Vulnerability and impact assessment for adaptation to climate change

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
