Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite contributions relating to, but not limited to, ozone recovery in the Antarctic and dramatic changes in the Arctic polar vortex under recent major stratospheric warming affecting ozone variability. This issue will also cover remote sensing of the processes that confirm the stabilization of ozone loss and assist in the discovery of new evidence of ozone layer recovery inside the polar vortices and linkages to the ozone-depleting substances decrease in both polar stratospheres. We encourage papers that consider all aspects of remote sensing of polar ozone and polar clouds, stratospheric and mesospheric, to provide data for ozone dynamics and chemistry, polar stratospheric cloud formation, the atmospheric gravity wave and planetary wave impacts on the polar stratosphere and mesosphere. Other topics of interest for the Special Issue include the polar ozone interannual variability and trend, ozone layer recovery modeling and chances for a super-recovery in the condition of increased amounts of greenhouse gases, and stratospheric chemistry that is not yet sufficiently represented in the models and polar tropopause climatology. We will also consider general aspects of the satellite remote sensing of ozone and other minor atmospheric constituents provided by satellite platforms Aura, Aqua, Sentinel, etc., new remote sensing technique and instruments including microwave radiometry for the middle atmosphere and LIDAR PSC measurements, the chemical compositions distribution in the polar stratospheres and their role in ozone changes. The polar ozone impact on the mid-latitude atmosphere behavior and polar stratosphere – extratropical atmosphere teleconnections are encouraged for discussion and new results on polar ozone and climate interactions based on remote sensing observations and simulations by chemistry-climate models 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.
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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
