Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Remote sensors have enabled a better understanding of the Earth’s climate and the interactions between the ocean, land, and atmosphere, improving the knowledge on the global Earth dynamics. During the last several decades, technology has experienced incredible developments, both in sensor design and data processing techniques. At present, miniaturization, increased communications and networking capabilities, as well as machine learning and artificial intelligence are enabling new remote sensing instrument concepts, including distributed and reconfigurable sensors, for satellite, airborne, and ground-based platforms. These new remote sensing technologies can potentially explore widespread fields, including but not limited to passive/active and microwave or millimeter-wave/optical, or a combination of those.
We invite authors to submit their work on remote sensing technology developments on any of the above fields. Technology advancements include any development at subsystem level, at a system (instrument) level, mission level, or even at system of systems level. We also encourage studies including the analysis of performance improvement in terms of spatial, radiometric, spectral or temporal resolutions, related to the scientific applications.

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.
