Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“Water-related” refers to anything related to water, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, floods, clouds, rain, mist, snow, and ice. The research objects of water-related remote sensing include all water bodies that serve as either local or overall light, microwave, and acoustic wave transmission paths. By studying their characteristics in liquid, gas, and solid states, in addition to the propagation mechanism of light/microwave/acoustic waves in water and across media, various problems related to intelligent data acquisition, information transmission, and intelligent signal processing in water-related fields can be addressed. The theories, sensors/platforms, interpretation methods, and advanced processing techniques applied to water-related light/microwave/acoustic wave remote sensing are continually evolving. Therefore, the introduction of novel techniques and the exploration of related applications are necessary in order to address existing challenges and expand the potential of remote sensing.
This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers to share and discuss important discoveries, theoretical and experimental advances, technical breakthroughs, methodological innovations, application developments, viewpoints, and perspectives with the water-related remote sensing community. All theoretical, numerical, and experimental results are welcome. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:
- Ocean observation;
- Water/flood detection/monitoring/mapping;
- Underwater imaging/optical sensing;
- Underwater acoustics and Sonar;
- Sea ice/polar glacier detection/monitoring/mapping;
- Cloud detection/removal;
- Fog/haze removal;
- Water-related signal processing;
- Underwater in situ observation;
- Soil water monitoring.

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. 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.
