Meteorological Issues for Low-Altitude Economy

Dear Colleagues,

The low-altitude economy (typically referring to economic activities within the airspace from the ground to around 1000–2000 meters) is reshaping the future industrial ecosystem at an unprecedented pace. The explosive growth of emerging sectors such as drone logistics, urban air mobility (UAM), precision agricultural aviation, and low-altitude tourism is expected to produce a global market size of over CNY one trillion by 2030. However, this sustainable development is highly dependent on a deep understanding and precise forecasting of low-altitude meteorology, especially for the atmospheric boundary layer dynamic field.

This Special Issue of Atmosphere aims to cover papers related to all aspects of new and advanced meteorological techniques that can be applied for the development of the low-altitude economy, such as wind LiDAR remote sensing, the high-resolution modeling of complex-terrain dynamics, UAV measurements, and machine learning.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).
