Dear Colleagues,

We are happy to invite you to submit a paper to a Special Issue of the journal Remote Sensing entitled “Remote Sensing for Air-Sea Interactions”. The aim of this Special Issue is to publish original research manuscripts focused on the application of remote sensing science and technology in estimating the air-sea interactions on various scales. We aim to publish papers related to (1) novel/improved methods and/or retrieval algorithms of satellite remote sensing and radar detection, and (2) satellite/radar data assimilation in weather forecasting and ocean current prediction, to benefit the community, open to everyone in need of them. We encourage submissions from researchers all around the world.

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Sea surface wind and wave status remote sensing;
• Lidar retrieval algorithms of atmospheric boundary layer height, sea surface wind, and waves;
• Satellite and lidar data fusion and assimilation for coastal weather forecast and ocean current prediction;
• Validation of global database of air-sea interaction forecasting;
• Remote sensing, lidar detection, and numerical simulation of air-sea interactions under hurricane/typhoon environments.

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 2500 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.
