Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Accurate, reliable, and timely ocean environmental parameters, including sea surface salinity, temperature, wind vector, sea ice concentration and depth, are very important for many applications, including global climate study, water resource management, numerical weather prediction, coastal management, and Arctic shipping. Space-borne microwave radiometers have been applied to ocean and polar monitoring for several decades, providing a large amount of valuable data products. However, there are still challenges related to measuring these parameters with high accuracy and spatial resolution, especially in cold-water and coastal regions. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the measurement performance of the space-borne radiometers and develop the advanced algorithm for data processing and geophysical parameters retrieval.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advances, challenges, and applications in the passive microwave remote sensing of oceans and polar regions. We hope that researchers and practitioners from diverse fields will share their knowledge, insights, and experiences to promote the advancement of remote sensing techniques for monitoring ocean and polar environments.
We welcome papers exploring the areas of microwave passive sensors, theory and models of microwave radiation, and in field and laboratory experiments, including, but not limited to, the investigations of microwave radiative transfer models of the sea/ice surface, geophysical parameters retrieval algorithms, and the design and optimization of microwave sensors for measuring sea surface, ice and snow parameters. Submissions addressing low-temperature, extreme weather and coastal measurements for sea surface salinity, temperature, ice and snow using new-type microwave radiometers are particularly encouraged. Furthermore, we invite studies focusing on the detection and mitigation of environmental factors, such as ionosphere, RFI, and rain.

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.
