Observation and Impact Evaluation of Atmospheric Pollution by Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Atmospheric pollution, especially fine particulate matter, profoundly affects environmental systems and human health. Atmospheric pollution monitoring is a vital step toward understanding what the essential process of the potential impact is. Apart from in situ measurements, space-borne remote sensing instruments can periodically observe air pollutants, e.g., atmospheric aerosols. Therefore, many emerging approaches of remote sensing associated with the network of ground-based measurements are highly expected to monitor, estimate, and even predict the concentration of air pollutants. Furthermore, they are applied to analyze and estimate the potential effect on global or regional environments and public health.

This Special Issue entitled “Observation and Impact Evaluation of Atmospheric Pollution by Remote Sensing” will collect and integrate current accomplishments and future advancements of advanced remote sensing of air pollution. Community members are sincerely invited to submit contributions related to elements of air pollution in providing a comprehensive request for impact assessments on public health and climate changes. Both comprehensive reviews and research articles on atmospheric pollution monitoring are welcomed. The topics of this issue consist of (but are not limited to):

• PM 2.5 concentration estimation and prediction;
• aerosol–radiation–cloud–precipitation interaction;
• Optical properties modeling of air pollutants;
• Advanced deep learning approaches for air pollution 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 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.
