Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to the “Radar Sensing Atmosphere: Modelling, Imaging and Prediction” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/radar_sensing_atmosphere).
Radar is a powerful tool that can be used to monitor an atmospheric state, which can measure and sense the boundary layer, troposphere, and ionosphere to forecast future weather, even in space. Moreover, the obtained atmospheric data can also be used to correct atmospheric errors in remote sensing observations, communication, and navigation systems. Therefore, it is very important to measure and monitor the atmospheric state. At present, many radar sensing technologies have been widely used for atmospheric state monitoring, including direct measurements from radar instruments such as weather radars, cloud radars, and wind profile radars, as well as indirect calculations of tropospheric liquid water content (LWC), ice water content (IWC), and ionospheric total electronic content (TEC) using ground radar data. Radar sensing platforms can be implemented on the ground, in the air, in near space, or even on a satellite. In addition, the utilized frequency is also extended from traditional microwave frequency bands to millimeter wave and terahertz, as well as P-band, high frequency (HF), and other long-wave frequency bands. In short, the development of the technology and equipment in atmospheric radar detection has exciting prospects. This Special Issue focuses on the latest developments in atmospheric modeling, equipment, and detection methods using radar 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. 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.
