Remote Sensing of Hydrological Extremes

Dear Colleagues,

With the technological advances and the development of new types of sensors/satellites (like Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) Follow On, Cyclone Global Navigation Satellite System (CYGNSS), SENTINEL 1, 2 and 3 and many others), remotely-sensed observations offer new opportunities to accurately monitor hydrological extremes such as floods, tidal bores and droughts, as well as their causes (exceptional rainfall/snowfall or deficit, long term changes due to climate change or human activities, impact on ecosystems and riparian forest). The great diversity of satellite observations from atmospheric soundings to gravimetry from space measurements provide now and in the future a wide range of information on both the storage in hydrological reservoirs and the fluxes between water cycle compartments. This Special Issue aims to present reviews and recent advances of general interest in the use of remotely sensed observations for the monitoring of hydrological extremes and these consequences. Manuscripts can be related to any aspect of remote sensing technique or hydrological applications. We also encourage manuscripts resulting from applications of new technology and improvements expected from missions to be launched in the near future.

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.
