Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “GNSS Remote Sensing in Atmosphere and Environment” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/1B966H434Z).
In recent years, global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) have become one of the primary remote sensing platforms utilized to monitor the earth and its atmospheric systems. GNSS remote sensing can be used to accurately measure the precipitable water vapor (PWV), slant water vapor (SWV), zenith total delay (ZTD), slant total delay (STD), horizontal gradients, atmospheric refractivity, snow depth, soil moisture and sea wave height in the atmosphere and environment of earth. GNSS remote sensing has welcomed in a new era of atmospheric sounding and severe climate and weather monitoring. It not only provides us with a better understanding of the climate and changes in the weather, but also enables us to accurately forecast severe weather events, mitigate natural disasters, and save human lives.
We present a Special Issue of Atmosphere entitled “GNSS Remote Sensing in Atmosphere and Environment of Earth”. We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue with original research and review articles on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Water vapor retrievals based on GNSS, radiosonde, microwave radiometer, and other observation systems;
- Multi-sensor data assimilation, and model optimization;
- Weather, climate, and environment monitoring using GNSS remote sensing;
- Short-term rainstorm monitoring and forecasting based on GNSS-derived tropospheric parameters (ZTD, ZWD or PWV);
- Machine learning, artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms and applications in weather prediction and climate analyses using GNSS remote sensing;
- New research and applications of GNSS remote sensing in the atmosphere and environment of earth systems.

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
