Special Issue Information
Geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites have long been utilized, mainly in the field of atmospheric sciences and especially for meteorological purposes. During the decade starting in 2002, the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) aboard the Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) series of GEO satellites, which differ from typical low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, demonstrated the potential for land remote sensing using datasets with a “hypertemporal” resolution. The promising results obtained using SEVIRI drove the emergence of “third-generation” GEO sensors characterized by advancements with higher temporal, spatial, and spectral resolutions. Especially over the past seven years, a number of GEO satellites carrying sensors with improved land monitoring capabilities have been launched from several countries. The first of these was Himawari-8 (Japan) launched in 2014, followed in 2016 by INSAT-3DR (India), Himawari-9 (Japan), GEOS-16 (USA), and FY-4 (China). In 2018, two more satellites, GOES-17 (USA) and GEO-KOMPSAT-2A (South Korea), were launched. The deployment of these satellites raises the prospect of a new era of land remote sensing based on hypertemporal datasets from third-generation GEO sensors.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in land remote sensing using advanced GEO sensors. It aims to capture the current status of research in this area, covering topics ranging from fundamentals to applications, and to nurture discussions on future prospects in the field of hypertemporal land remote sensing. It welcomes manuscripts that address issues related to broad aspects of terrestrial monitoring from GEO satellites.

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.
