Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) have significantly evolved from a navigation tool to an indispensable part of the Earth observing system. The first GNSS, Global Positioning System (GPS), was initially designed for positioning and navigation with meter-level service, but has soon started playing critical roles in high-precision geodesy, geophysics, and remote sensing, with the precision at the centimeter to the millimeter level. The recent developments of multi-GNSS constellations provide a better opportunity to improve the GNSS service performance. To name a few, (1) a global constellation of more than 100 satellites is currently available, including GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS, and QZSS; (2) the satellite signals have also evolved from dual-frequency to up to five frequencies, and (3) the newly launched Galileo, BDS, and GPS BLOCK III satellites are equipped with much more stable H-maser clocks, which enhances the data analysis precision and robustness. On the other hand, these developments also introduce new challenges in GNSS data processing and result interpretation.
Contributes are invited to present original and innovative studies to improve GNSS analysis and applications, including algorithms, data processing strategies, error modeling, as well as various applications in Earth observing system. We encourage both original articles and review papers, including but not limited to:
- High-precision GNSS processing algorithms and strategies;
- Integrated processing of multi-GNSS and LEO platforms;
- Multi-sensor fusion of GNSS and inertial, Lidar, and visual sensors, etc.;
- New methods, developments, and applications of GNSS tropospheric and ionospheric sounding;
- Earthquake, tsunami, and volcano monitoring and early warning using real-time GNSS.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sensors 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 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.
