Advances in Remote Sensing and Modeling of Fires and/or Tropospheric Composition in Asia

Dear Colleagues,

The last decade has seen advancements in both remote sensing techniques and chemistry transport models for understanding the variation of atmospheric composition in Asia, including the impact of such variation on regional and global climate and air quality. This session will explore the state of the science in the use of satellite, sub-orbital, aircraft, and ground-based remote sensing measurements to investigate the sources (including fires) and processes that regulate the spatial–temporal distribution of tropospheric aerosols and trace gases such as CO₂, O₃, CO, SO₂, NO_x, and NH₃. We invite contributions examining a wide range of topics, including new concepts of instrument and algorithm design for remote sensing of fires, aerosols, and trace gases; site measurements and field experiments for characterizing optical–physical–chemical properties of aerosols and their relationships with aerosol precursors (such as SO₂) and compounding pollutants (such as O₃); fluxes of particles and trace gases to the atmosphere, especially during fire events; long-range transport and local emission of pollutants; and integrated use of satellite data, surface measurements, and numerical models to derive surface PM_2.5 and surface pollutants.

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.
