Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The highly complex Earth system is formed by mutually interlinked components (land, ocean, atmosphere), their interfaces, and the process interactions that occur on various spatial and temporal scales. These interactions affect the energy, water, and carbon cycles and thus the biosphere and habitablity of our planet. Understanding the processes underlying these interactions and quantifying the fluxes of energy, mass, and momentum across the land–ocean–atmosphere interfaces are of fundamental importance to human society.
Satellite measurements allow us to observe the different components of the integrated Earth system and any changes to them, greatly increasing our ability to conduct interdisciplinary research. Sustaining and enhancing space-based integrated observing systems is essential for the development of Earth system models, analyses, and prediction systems, with important implications for the ability to project future climate change.
This Special Issue calls for papers that describe and quantify the different Earth system components and their interactions based on observations and model analyses. Assessments of the energy, water, and carbon cycles; their linkages; and their implications for weather and the climate are particularly welcome. In addition, improvements to the measurement and analysis of energy, water, and carbon fluxes across the atmosphere–ocean–land interfaces are of great relevance.
This Special Issue aims to publish studies that emphasize the linkages of the atmosphere, ocean, and/or land. The objectives of this Special Issue are to highlight interdisciplinary research and to advocate for the need to sustain and enhance our remote sensing capabilities to observe the integrated Earth system.
Topics may cover anything from single processes of ocean, land, and/or atmosphere interaction to more comprehensive Earth system studies. Studies focusing on these topics, based on satellite observations or in conjunction with models and in situ measurements, are welcome. Articles may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Water cycle;
- Carbon cycle;
- Energy cycle;
- Land/atmosphere interaction;
- Air/sea interaction;
- Land/ocean fluxes.

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.
