Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Climate change and human activities are exerting extensive effects on aquatic ecosystems, which results in the loss of many ecological goods and services. Thus, long-term and high-resolution monitoring of the physical, chemical, and biological status and evolution processes of aquatic ecosystems are vital to improving our understanding of the responses and feedbacks of aquatic ecosystems to climate change and human activities. Water color remote sensing has the potential to provide long-term observation and high temporal–spatial resolution monitoring from local through to regional and global scales. However, the development of accurate, cost-effective, frequent, and synoptic retrieval algorithms for acquiring in-water optical and biogeochemical parameters as well as information on the biophysical properties is facing several challenges.
This Special Issue “Water Optics and Water Colour Remote Sensing 2.0” is a continuation of the first volume, and also aims to address the following: (1) issues on water optics including characterizing optical properties covering diverse aquatic ecosystems, modeling bio-optical and radiative transfer processes and (2) challenges regarding retrieval algorithm development, validation, and applications. This Special Issue, which serves as an update of our previous issue published in 2017, will include the recent progress in this rapidly advancing research area.
The topics, examined at local, regional, or global scales, may include, but are not limited to the following:
- Water optics
- Bio-optical properties
- Remote sensing
- Water color satellite
- Phytoplankton dynamics
- Algal bloom
- Chromophoric dissolved organic matter, dissolved organic carbon, particulate organic carbon

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.
