Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is the second volume in a series of publications dedicated to “Development of LIDAR Techniques for Atmospheric Remote Sensing” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/LIDAR_Atmos).
LIDAR is an important active remote sensing tool to monitor atmospheric components such as aerosols, temperature, pollutant gases and greenhouse gases (e.g., CALIPSO, ACDL, and Aeolus) during the day and night. By monitoring aerosols, we can analyze their concentrations, distributions and types to study their impact on the weather, climate and human health. Atmospheric temperature distribution data obtained via LIDAR help to understand the pattern of temperature change and support weather and climate prediction. In addition, LIDAR can monitor pollutant gases and greenhouse gases, helping to track the causes of extreme pollution events, study the process of the carbon cycle, and gain insights into the mechanism of global climate change.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest research in the system development and applications of LIDAR in the atmosphere. We invite you to submit articles on your recent research on LIDAR system development with respect to the following topics:
- Innovative methods for monitoring atmospheric composition;
- Hardware development for LIDAR systems;
- Models for quantifying gas fluxes;
- The collaborative observation of greenhouse and pollution gases;
- Measurements for stratospheric meteorology.

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.
