Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Observations of clouds and precipitation are essential for understanding the global hydrological cycle, assessing the Earth’s radiation budgets, and monitoring high-impact events. Remote sensing technologies provide in-depth insights into the formation and development of clouds and precipitation, thanks to the development of a wide variety of observing instruments such as radars, lidars, spectrometers and microwave radiometers (MWRs). These instruments, as carried by multiple platforms, e.g., vehicles, satellites, and ships, bring an unprecedented opportunity to observe clouds and precipitation with a synergy of observations. In recent years, an enormous variety of algorithms have been proposed and developed for synergetic retrievals, such as remote sensing and in situ, active and passive remote sensing, multifrequency radars, radar and lidar, and radar and lidar and MWR, to disentangle the complex of clouds and precipitation. Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) techniques further extend the capability of remote sensing measurements for scientific research and operational applications.
This Special Issue will focus on recent advances in the synergetic remote sensing of clouds and precipitation, including algorithm development, comparison and evaluation of multisource remote sensing data, and applications of AI in remote sensing. The topics will include, but are not limited to, research on cloud/precipitation physics, nowcasting, high-impact weather monitoring using weather/cloud/phased-array radars, lidars, spectrometers, microwave radiometers, etc.
Research articles, review articles, and short communications are welcome.
This is the second edition. For more information on the first edition, please see:

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
