Spatial or Temporal Analysis of Soil Moisture from Space

Dear Colleagues,

Soil moisture (SM) is an essential hydrological variable that connects terrestrial water, energy, and carbon cycles. It is highly essential for the regulation of both land–atmosphere interactions and hydrological cycles. High-quality, long-term, and large-scale SM products are crucial for understanding, modeling, and forecasting climate change, flood/drought early warnings, and agricultural monitoring. Accurate SM information is necessary in all of these fields at fine spatial resolutions (~1 km) with continuous temporal coverage.

This Special Issue aims to present reviews and recent advances in the general interest in the use of remote sensing observations for monitoring soil moisture.

Manuscripts can be related to any aspect of soil moisture estimates using satellite or AUV observations. They can be related to either new methodological developments or new advances in sensors as well as original studies based on the spatial and/or temporal monitoring of soil moisture from local to global scales.

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.
