Dear Colleagues
Nowadays, the accelerating impacts of global warming and large-scale climate changes have significantly amplified the severity and frequency of weather and climate extremes worldwide. These hazardous events are leading to detrimental social and economic consequences and pose profound threats to the sustainable development of human societies. This highlights a pressing need to deepen our understanding of the intrinsic nature of these phenomena and to refine the existing methodologies for their effective detection and early warning.
Weather and climate monitoring depend on a global network of Earth observing systems, with satellites providing a unique perspective through comprehensive coverage that enables effective tracking and analysis of extreme events. Recent years have witnessed unprecedented advancements in satellite Earth observing technologies, such as weather satellite-based remote sensing and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) atmospheric monitoring techniques. The rapid development of new satellite-based data streams is opening up new avenues for monitoring meteorological and climate hazards at multi-spatiotemporal scales, which also form the backbone of Earth system models. Therefore, it is imperative to fully harness the potential of these satellite Earth observing technologies to develop robust and reliable methodologies that promote innovative applications across the climate, meteorology and environmental communities. This Special Issue is aimed at increasing the utilization and uptake of satellite Earth observations, e.g., the International GNSS Service (IGS) data and products, to provide promising methodologies for improved monitoring of weather and climate extremes, thereby constructing climate-resilient communities and contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. Emphasizing the use of advanced satellite Earth observing technologies, especially GNSS atmospheric monitoring techniques, the scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Effective mining and analysis of multi-type satellite Earth observations and their derivatives;
- Advanced multi-GNSS data processing, atmospheric monitoring and modeling;
- Synthetic applications from the use of satellite Earth observations;
- Data assimilation technique in operational Earth system models;
- Advanced artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered and digital-twin approaches for climate analysis, weather prediction, and environmental monitoring;
- Furthermore, miscellaneous interdisciplinary research and innovative applications towards the fields of meteorology, climatology, and environment are also welcome.

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.
