Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a collection of satellites that are positioned in a specific way to produce and transmit location, timing, and navigation data from space to connected sensors on Earth. Additionally, they offer several distinguishing features, such as the utilization of L-band frequencies, which are particularly well suited to use in remote sensing. It has been proven that GNSS remote sensing can be utilized as a substitute for passive remote sensing.
GNSS calibration is required to make sure that the data and outcomes are accurate. In essence, GNSS site calibration creates the link between the required local northing, easting, and elevation and the WGS84 latitude, longitude, and ellipsoidal height. Typically, site calibration entails both a horizontal and vertical adjustment.
This Special Issue is the second volume of the issue “International GNSS Service Validation, Application and Calibration”. On the basis of the previous research results, this volume aims to present recent advances in using real-time GNSS in a variety of applications, as well as validation and calibration techniques. The following are just a few examples of potential topics:
- GNSS precise positioning applications in geodesy;
- GNSS signal processing and calibration;
- The precise non-linear motion modelling of GNSS reference stations and their physical mechanisms;
- Aided real-time GNSS precise positioning services and sensor fusion in challenging environments;
- The identification of GNSS error sources and mitigation mechanisms;
- GNSS augmentation systems and integrity monitoring;
- Real-time GNSS precise positioning services with smartphones;
- The geohazard monitoring of volcanos, earthquakes, subsidence and landslides;
- Connected and autonomous vehicles;
- Integrated applications of BIM and digital twins in infrastructure;
- Monitoring the Earth's ionosphere and troposphere;
- Monitoring deformations of the solid Earth and variations in the hydrosphere;
- Time and frequency transfer;
- Earth rotation;
- Atmospheric parameters;
- Supporting geodetic research.

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.
