Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Atmospheric remote sensing has been used for decades, first with Radar, then with IR sensors, profilers, LIDAR, etc. Drones are also being used to measure environmental parameters where aircraft cannot easily go. Cloud microphysical properties are a particularly difficult problem for remote observations. Some advances have been made using differential radar reflectivity and polarization diversity measurements, and limb measurements from satellites can now make inferences about the water and ice content of clouds. All of these techniques have shown promise, but the schemes still need to be calibrated against in-situ measurements, which are often scarce. Still, efforts continue to make use of these techniques to probe clouds, many of which will appear in the pages of this Journal. To that end, we invite researchers to send manuscripts that touch on any of these topics to be considered in Journal of Remote Sensing.

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.
