Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The opportunities that unmanned systems provide to collect real-time observations of the atmosphere are growing. Both small and large unmanned systems have been developed to support atmospheric scientific research as well as operational monitoring for decision support systems. Large-scale systems can provide critical timely observations of the atmosphere during significant events such as hurricanes and severe storms, while small innovative unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) can be adapted to include high-precision sensors to collect high-frequency measurements of the atmosphere, which was not possible with previous sensor systems.
This Special Issue is addressed to the two communities of Atmosphere and Drones. We are interested in papers that focus on all aspects of the application of unmanned systems for atmospheric measurements. These include, but are not limited to, experimental campaigns highlighting the testing and evaluation of new sensors, the development of new aircraft to specifically support collected atmospheric observations, new data-processing and collection methodologies using large and/or small unmanned systems, and lessons learned/best practices to integrate unmanned systems into atmospheric-monitoring decision support systems.
We look forward to your submissions and to achieving a Special Issue representing the growing community of scientists involved in atmospheric science measurements and observations using these innovative unmanned systems.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Atmosphere.
Yours,

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. Drones 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 2600 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.
