Atmospheric Pollen/Fungus Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Biogenic aerosols play a vital yet poorly understood role in the physical processes of the atmosphere, interactions with clouds, and climate forcing. Pollen and fungus allergenicity has adverse effects on human health and wellness. The transport of biogenic aerosols facilitates gene dispersion and can prove to be a significant factor in vegetation adaptation to climate change. It is thus of great public and scientific interest to increase our knowledge of bioaerosol behaviour in the atmosphere (sources, emissions, the processes involved during transport, etc.). This Special Issue of Remote Sensing on atmospheric bioaerosols should address all topics related to their detection in the atmosphere (from the surface up into the atmospheric column) in order to improve our understanding of the release and dispersion of these aerosol types. Transport and forecast modelling exercises of their dispersion on local and/or large scales, including observations, are also appropriate.

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.
