State-of-the-Art Remote Sensing in Precipitation and Thunderstorm

Dear Colleagues,

Due to their small spatiotemporal scale, short-term heavy precipitation and thunderstorms and other disaster weather mainly rely on various remote sensing devices for their now-forecasting. This Special Issue will introduce the latest research results of various remote sensing devices in the near forecasting of heavy precipitation, thunderstorms, and other disaster weather.

Based on satellite, dual polarization phased array weather radar, and atmospheric vertical detection system data, the thermal dynamics, cloud microphysical mechanisms, and micro- and meso-scale structural characteristics of convective storm development in extreme wind and hail weather are studied. Using machine learning methods, an intelligent recognition model for extreme wind and hail weather is studied, and a 0–2 hour short-term forecast technology is developed.

Suggested themes and article types for submission:

• Weather radar detection technology
• Application of artificial intelligence in short-term disaster weather forecasting

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.
