Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Satellite remote sensing plays a crucial role in monitoring atmospheric components and cloud parameters by providing a matchless global perspective with consistency over long periods, leading to a boom in related research on air quality, trace gases, and greenhouse gas (GHG) measurements. The ground-based observation networks, which provide important in situ and high-resolution calibration data, contributed significantly to validating satellite data products. For example, ground-based Fourier Transform Spectrometers (FTSs), which have become part of the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON), can provide precise and accurate measurements of the column-averaged dry-air mole fraction of atmospheric XCO2. Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) and other monitoring equipment have been used to build a network to monitor total column amounts and vertical profiles of aerosol and trace gases. The China Aerosol Remote Sensing Network (CARSNET) and Sun/sky-radiometer Observation NETwork (SONET) provide important validation data of aerosol optical and micro-physical properties in China.
This Special Issue is aimed at studies covering different platforms that provide calibration or validation of satellite products. Topics may cover anything from the method of validation between different platform to their application in typical areas or to trace gas components, as well as more comprehensive aims and scales. Hence, multisource data integration, multiscale approaches, or studies focused on the retrieval and validation of atmospheric components and clouds by remote sensing, among other issues, are welcome.
Articles may address, but are not limited, to the following topics:
- Trace gases retrieval and validation;
- Cloud retrieval and validation;
- Applications in atmospheric chemistry research;
- Air quality;
- Greenhouse gases;
- Air pollution;
- Global or regional networks;
- Satellite product validation.

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.
