Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Satellite remote sensing technology plays a crucial role in modern marine science, providing information on spatial and temporal physical and biogeochemical patterns over regional and global scales that would otherwise be impossible to observe. Important products derived from remote sensing data include the temperature and concentrations of optically active water constituents at the sea surface, ocean current and height information, water depth and seafloor habitat (in shallow waters), and wave and wind information. Such data serve as inputs for calibration and validation of ocean circulation modeling, and allow development of both empirical and process models. A suite of satellite sensors to be launched in the next decade, many of which will provide data for free to the scientific community, will only serve to increase the influence of satellite remote sensing in marine science.
This Special Issue will provide an overview of the state-of-the art of applications of satellite remote sensing in marine science. Manuscripts covering all types of satellite sensors are encouraged, and manuscripts dealing with both technology-centric and application-centric research are welcome, with the goal of providing a comprehensive view of the field.

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. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering 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 2600 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.
