Remote Sensing in Sea Ice

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit manuscripts to a Special Issue of “Remote Sensing in Sea Ice” in the journal of Remote Sensing.

With the great increase in interest about global warming, the understanding of the rapid changes in sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans has become one of the most important factors for providing new insights into the relationship between the atmosphere, ocean, and Earth. Over the past decades, remotely sensed information from satellite, airborne, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been greatly utilized in order to provide the characteristics of the sea ice. Furthermore, we already are or will be in the golden age for Earth observation, in that new satellite missions adopting new payloads that will be launched that will enable us to investigate sea ice with advanced methodologies.

For this Special Issue, we welcome the submission of manuscripts related to recent research and activities about sea ice using airborne, space-based, and UAV remote sensing, in situ measurements, and integration and modeling based on those observations. Especially, we invite contributions of recently launched SAR satellites and historical imaging radar data. However, the topic of this Special Issue will include active and passive microwave remote sensing, optical and hyperspectral observations, calibration and validation with in situ observations and sea ice model, and data fusion and assimilation approaches of remotely sensed imagery. We thank you in advance for your consideration to submit manuscripts to this Special Issue on sea ice remote sensing, and encourage you to share this announcement with your colleagues.

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.
