Microwave Remote Sensing of the Atmosphere: Current Progress and Future Vision

Dear Colleagues,

Microwave remote sensing of the atmosphere is critical to weather forecasting and environmental and climate monitoring. This Special Issue focuses on the progress and future vision of ground-, aircraft-, and satellite-based active and passive atmospheric microwave remote sensing. Progress relates to improvements to calibration, and product validation and quality monitoring, of current microwave observations. It also includes current pre-launch sensor hardware and calibration algorithm design, fabrication, and testing updates. The future vision is an imagined state of atmospheric microwave sensing out to 2050 that expands data volume, reduces data latency and improves integration of observations from all missions. It communicates possible new instrument technologies and platforms, SI-traceable microwave standards, calibration approaches, data sharing strategies, and methods to harmonize and integrate data in space and time. This MDPI Remote Sensing Special Issue call for papers is an opportunity to globally share your progress and future vision on this topic along with international colleagues from public and private institutions alike.

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-anonymized 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.
