Remote Sensing for Agrometeorology

Dear Colleagues,

It is well known that agrometeorology is a multi-disciplinary scientific field, which is currently receiving significant attention mainly due to climate change, among other reasons. Agrometeorology deals with meteorological, hydrological, edaphological, and biological factors and parameters, which affect agricultural production, and examines the inter-relationship between agriculture, forestry, and the environment. Agrometeorology is a horizontal science, which applies atmospheric and soil physics to agriculture and combines physical and biological sciences constituting a significant link between them. Similarly, at present, remote sensing is a very fast evolving scientific and technological field with steadily increasing reliability and more new systems every year with continuously improving temporal and spatial resolution.

The aim of this Special Issue is to foster advances in remote sensing science and technology for a range of practical applications and research investigations in agrometeorology. I would like to encourage both theoretical and applied research contributions, furthering knowledge on the use of this remote sensing science and technology in all disciplines of contemporary agrometeorology. Such contributions can be focused on various aspects, including, but not limited to, active and passive remote sensing data and methods (e.g., satellites, weather radar, SAR, UAV, sensors), applications in environmental hazards affecting agriculture, agrometeorological simulation and modeling, decision support systems in agrometeorology, climate change: impact-mitigation-adaptation, precision agriculture, agroclimatic classification, software tool development for data collection and processing, as well as their applications.

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.
