Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As interest in the Earth’s atmospheric environment grows, high-spatial- and temporal-resolution lidar measurements of aerosols, winds, temperature, and trace constituents in the middle and upper atmosphere have become increasingly important for understanding the complex mechanisms that govern the atmosphere. Over the past decades, numerous novel lidar technologies have been reported, making significant contributions to atmosphere investigation and enabling the further study of waves and dynamics processes in the middle and upper atmosphere. In light of the recent advancements in this field, this Special Issue encourages authors to submit original papers that address relevant topics in lidar research, including simulation, theoretical analysis and modeling, instrumentation, the observation of atmospheric parameters (winds, temperatures, aerosols, and polluted constituents), and the application of machine learning in research on the middle and upper atmosphere.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Photonics 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.
