Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerosol vertical profile is an important parameter for understanding the radiative effects of aerosols and for generating more accurate aerosol models. Despite tremendous developments and improvements in remote sensing measurement techniques for aerosols’ vertical profiles, there is still a lack of information regarding the vertical distribution of physical and chemical properties of some classes of atmospheric aerosols, especially aerosols with a complex composition such as biomass burning, dust or volcanic ash. Thus, the purpose of this Remote Sensing Special Issue is to collect scientific publications on the vertical distribution and time evolution of aerosols in the atmosphere and on their interactions with other atmospheric components (gaseous precursors, water vapor, and ozone), which could provide a comprehensive overview of aerosols and radiation, which is of great importance for studies on air quality and the climate. The Special Issue is focused on the modeling of aerosol vertical profiles using remote sensing techniques and aerosol models and aims to serve as an important contribution to the aerosol studies, as part of atmosphere research. The scientific results published in this Special Issue will also contribute conceptually to the Copernicus effort to assimilate the aerosol ground-based remote-sensing measurements in atmosphere monitoring service (CAMS).

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.
