Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is well known that aerosols play an important role in the Earth’s radiation system and atmospheric environment. Along with this, the difficulty in understanding aerosol characteristics, which are highly variable in space and time, is also well known. Remote sensing from satellites, airplanes, and the ground are the most powerful means of aerosol measurement.
There is no doubt that the global climate crisis and air pollution are worsening. Due to these trends, various aerosol and cloud sensors will be installed on the Earth observation satellites to be launched soon, such as EarthCARE, EPS-SG, PACE, MAIA and so on. Advanced meteorological satellites can also be considered aerosol sensors. Other sensors (MODIS, CALIPSO, Sentinel-5P) also provide valuable information on aerosol properties and air quality. The development of data analysis algorithms that can cope with the remarkable growth of these devices and the integrated use of multiple sensors is required.
Manuscripts from various perspectives, whether observational, theoretical, or experimental, are welcomed.

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 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.
