Remote Sensing Applied in Atmosphere: Recent Trends, Current Progress and Future Directions

Dear Colleagues,

Our atmosphere is closely related to the survival of our planet and the functioning of our daily lives. Satellite remote sensing techniques, which can effectively monitor the continuous and dynamic status of air over large areas, are widely applied in the field of atmospheric and environmental research around the world, and they have played an important role in air monitoring and evaluation in applications such as aerosols, clouds, air pollution, straw burning, dust storms, carbon emissions, pollution source detection, volcanic ash, etc. Recently, with the most rapid development of the economy and space technology seen in decades, especially for high-resolution satellites, many atmospheric problems must be detected by advanced satellite remote sensing. This Special Issue aims to showcase the recent trends, current progress and future research directions of remote sensing as applied in atmospheric research. Original results from ground experiments, model simulations and review papers related to these aspects are all welcome contributions. Authors are encouraged to present a section covering future issues, opportunities, and/or concerns related to their topics.

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). 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.
