Advances in Atmospheric Remote Sensing for Climate Change Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Climate change impacts the behaviour of our planet on a global scale, from global warming to desert expansion or the increase of extreme atmospheric events. Monitoring the atmosphere is therefore crucial to understand the sources of climate change and the impact that humans have on the Earth’s ecosystems. Remote sensing measurements from low-Earth orbit, geostationary and deep-space missions are a valuable source of scientific data for climate change monitoring thanks to the exceptional spatial and time coverage.

This Special Issue aims to offer a place where scientists can contribute with the latest advances in climate change monitoring by means of remote sensing data processing and analysis. This includes space and time analysis of remote sensing products related to anthropogenic emissions and greenhouse gases, as well as the study of atmospheric aerosol events, the global-scale dynamics of clouds, the evolution of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere temperature, and the energy budget at the surface-atmosphere interface. The validation of remote sensing products for climate change monitoring by means of ground-based measurements is also welcome.

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. 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). 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.
