Earth Environment Monitoring with Advanced Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar: New Architectures, Operational Modes, and Processing Techniques

Dear Colleagues,

The project ‘Earth Environment Monitoring with Advanced Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar: New Architectures, Operational Modes, and Processing Techniques (2017YFB0502700)’ belongs to the National Key Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China. The original intention of this project is to (a) build a comprehensive environmental monitoring indicator system for the land surveying, disaster prevention, earthquake, ocean, forest, and other industries, (b) establish reliable microwave scattering models, (c) develop new SAR architectures, operational modes, and processing methods, (d) propose quantitative inversion technologies. The final result of the project is a comprehensive environmental monitoring technical solution based on microwave remote sensing.

This Special Issue will collect manuscripts focused on new methodologies or applications of well-known remote sensing techniques in the field of new SAR architectures, operational modes, and processing methods. Examples of areas covered within this research topic include, but are not restricted to, the following:

• Innovative SAR architectures and operational modes
• Microwave scattering mechanism and model
• InSAR topography and geodesy
• Multi-mode SAR imaging
• Quantitative SAR applications

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
