Satellite Remote Sensing for Ocean and Coastal Environment Monitoring (Third Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

We are launching the third edition of the Special Issue entitled “Satellite Remote Sensing for Ocean and Coastal Environment Monitoring”.

Knowledge of the ocean environment, especially in coastal regions, is essential for numerous human activities such as tidal power, navigation and ocean engineering. Remote sensing technologies like satellite altimeters and GNSS reform traditional ocean research through providing observations with nearly global coverage. Currently, nearly all ocean environment elements, including sea level anomalies, sea surface salinity, sea surface temperature, sea surface pressure, winds, chlorophyll-a concentrations, water transparency and sea waves, can be observed by remote sensing technologies. Consequently, remote sensing observations provide valuable opportunities to explore basin-wide changes in the ocean environment and ocean dynamic processes with different scales of space and time, such as ocean tides, mesoscale eddies, storm surges, coastal currents, sea level rise, and ocean circulation. Furthermore, remote sensing observations have been assimilated into numerical models and thus greatly improve model performances.

Therefore, this Special Issue of Remote Sensing endeavors to assemble novel research that utilizes multi-source remote sensing observations as well as numerical models to explore diverse ocean dynamic processes and their influences on a changing ocean environment in the global ocean, especially in the coastal areas with complicated hydrodynamic contexts and harsh socio-economic problems. We welcome you to submit research articles and reviews to this Special Issue.

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.
