Microwave Remote Sensing
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microwave remote sensing is a very dynamic field driven by advances in space technique and sensor design, improvements in processing techniques and retrieval algorithms, and the increasing demand of data in geosciences. The big challenges for the future are to develop global climate datasets based on microwave observations and to establish new operational monitoring services in support to various applications such as weather forecasting, oceanography or hydrology. This Special Issue seeks contributions from all research and development areas in microwave remote sensing – from the design of future sensors, scattering and emission theory, geophysical parameter retrieval, to the development of operational microwave products and data assimilation capabilities. Particularly welcome are contributions dealing with the generation of essential climate variables (soil moisture, biomass, snow, precipitation, ocean salinity, sea ice, etc.) and studies preparing for the launch of new spaceborne microwave sensors.
