Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sea surface temperatures have increased significantly over the past four decades at regional and global scales. This warming affects climate and biogeochemical cycles, ocean circulation, stratification, melting of ocean-bounding glaciers and ice sheets around Greenland and Antarctica, and the exchange of momentum, heat, and gases between the ocean and atmosphere. In addition, this accelerated warming can lead to extreme events (e.g., marine heat waves, low chlorophyll-a concentrations, storm surges) that have devastating effects on the marine ecosystem (e.g., coral bleaching, eutrophication, death of benthic communities, harmful algal blooms). Sea surface temperature, surface air temperature, and sea ice concentration have been classified as essential climate variables (ECVs) by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) due to their climate relevance, technical feasibility, and cost-effectiveness, as they play an important role in regulating Earth's climate system and its variability. In addition, large-scale teleconnection patterns (e.g., El Niño-Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation) can modulate large-scale climate variability.
We invite papers which use Sea Surface Temperature, Sea Ice concentration, and chlorophyll-a remote-sensing datasets and techniques to understand spatiotemporal trends and extreme events. Furthermore, the possible relation between atmospheric forcings (i.e., Heat fluxes, wind) and large-scale teleconnection patterns with these extreme events.

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-anonymized 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.
