Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Extreme weather in the form of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and heavy precipitation can result in the loss and destruction of infrastructure, the disruption of essential services, and economic losses. Understanding and effectively monitoring these events is crucial for disaster preparedness, early-warning systems, and the development of strategies to mitigate their impacts. Remote sensing plays a vital role in the study of high-impact weather and involves the use of satellites, airborne platforms, and ground-based instruments to collect data about the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Remote sensing data provide valuable information on atmospheric conditions, precipitation patterns, cloud dynamics, and other parameters relevant to high-impact weather phenomena.
To this end, this Special Issue calls for original research, reviews, methodology papers, and case studies that demonstrate the application of remote sensing methods for monitoring and predicting high-impact weather. This Special Issue’s scope includes but is not limited to the following topics:
(1) advanced remote sensing techniques for detecting and tracking severe weather events, such as tropical cyclones, thunderstorms, and severe precipitation;
(2) integration of multi-source remote sensing data for improving weather forecasting and warning systems;
(3) Assimilation of remote sensing data for improved numerical prediction of extreme weather;
(4) Use of remote sensing for assessing the impacts of extreme weather on the environment and society;
(5) Development of new models and algorithms for processing large-scale, high-resolution remote sensing data relevant to severe weather;
(6) Evaluation of remote sensing data quality and uncertainty in impact weather studies.
This Special Issue is the second edition of “Remote Sensing for High Impact Weather and Extremes”, which can be viewed at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/remotesensing/special_issues/73632Z76ZU.
