Remote Sensing of Clouds and Precipitation at Multiple Scales

Dear Colleagues,

Clouds and precipitation play an essential role in global weather and climate systems because of their impact on the distribution of atmospheric energy. Many well developed remote sensing techniques have greatly assisted our ability to characterize the inter-decadal, inter-annual, and diurnal variability of clouds and precipitation, connect clouds and precipitation to large-scale circulation patterns, and understand the impacts of clouds and precipitation on the Earth’s atmosphere. However, some recent advances and innovations in terms of active/passive sensors for detecting clouds and precipitation have successfully been launched. We invite studies using these or other new observational data to help further understand the internal processes and dynamics of clouds and precipitation, spanning global to regional scales.

This Special Issue aims at collecting new developments and methodologies, best practices, and applications of remote sensing for clouds and precipitation at multiple scales. We welcome submissions that provide the community with the most recent advancements on all aspects of cloud and precipitation remote sensing, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Active and passive detection of cloud and precipitation
• Cloud remote sensing
• Precipitation remote sensing
• Convection remote sensing
• Multi-instruments
• Cloud and precipitation detections for weather, climatic, and environment studies

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
