Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the context of global warming, frequent occurrences of natural disasters caused by severe weather events and climatic hazards have resulted in substantial damage and losses to properties and livelihoods. This highlights a pressing need to understand the intrinsic nature of these phenomena and refine the methods for their effective detection and early warning. The evolution of atmospheric water vapor and other critical components contained in the hydrological cycle is proven to have significant implications for determining the intensity, time and extent of potential severe weather events and climatic phenomena. Consequently, continuous, timely and accurate monitoring of these constituents is crucial for weather forecasting and climate change analysis.
Satellite remote sensing technology, e.g., weather satellite-based sensing techniques and the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) atmospheric sounding technique, has undergone unprecedented development in recent years. New space-based data streams, e.g., the International GNSS Service (IGS) data and products, are opening up new opportunities for monitoring weather events at a multi-spatiotemporal scale, which also serve as the backbone of the Earth system models. This Special Issue is aimed at increasing the utilization and uptake of satellite remote sensing data, as well as to provide promising methods for the monitoring of severe weather events and essential climate variables, thereby contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To take advantage of the cutting-edge satellite remote sensing technology, especially advanced GNSS atmospheric sounding techniques, this Special Issue mainly focuses on, but is not limited to:
- Effective mining/analysis of multi-type satellite data and their derivatives;
- Advanced multi-GNSS data processing, atmospheric sounding and modeling;
- Synthetic application from the use of satellite remote sensing data and products;
- Data assimilation technique in operational earth system models;
- Advanced machine learning-based approaches for climate monitoring, weather prediction and hydrological investigation;
- Furthermore, miscellaneous interdisciplinary researches, advanced methods and new applications towards the fields of meteorology, climatology and hydrology are also welcomed.

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.
