Development of LIDAR Techniques for Atmospheric Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

As an important tool of active remote sensing, LIDAR can monitor the contents of the atmosphere, such as aerosols, temperature, polluting gases, and greenhouse gases during day and night. Moreover, it can also acquire the distribution of atmospheric compositions with spatial information and high accuracy. Data measured by LIADR can help us analyze the causes of extreme pollution cases, carbon cycle, and global climate change.

This Special Issue aims to present the latest research in the system development and applications of LIDAR in atmosphere. We would like to invite you to submit articles on your recent research on LIDAR system development with respect to the following topics:

1. Innovative methods for monitoring atmospheric composition;
2. Hardware development for LIDAR systems;
3. Models for quantifying gas fluxes;
4. Collaborative observation of greenhouse and pollution gases;
5. Measurements for stratospheric meteorology.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
