Satellite missions for meteorological and earth-atmosphere observation purposes have steadily increased in the last six decades. More recently, sensor technological advances reflect in the development and improvement of the ability to describe the atmosphere from satellite remote sensing. Satellite-derived global atmosphere products span a vast set of atmospheric properties, obtained from numerous different sensors at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. These products represent major sources of continuous data at the global scale, allowing for monitoring the atmospheric environment and greatly contributing to a better understanding of atmospheric processes and of the climate system and its changes. The consistency of atmospheric products retrieved from satellite data is thus crucial and must be assessed in order to provide users with information on product accuracy, precision and stability. The validation\/evaluation of satellite-derived global atmosphere products are challenging tasks that require the use of independent reference data. Useful datasets to quantify uncertainties and address validation include, but are not limited to, ground-based measurements and reference satellite products for satellite inter-comparison. This Special Issue invites contributions dealing with the validation\/evaluation of radiometric and geophysical global atmospheric satellite retrievals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Manuscript Submission Information<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com<\/a> by registering<\/a> and logging in to this website<\/a>. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form<\/a>. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

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<\/a> page. Remote Sensing<\/em><\/a> is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please visit the Instructions for Authors<\/a> page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC)<\/a> for publication in this open access<\/a> journal is 2000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI’s English editing service<\/a> prior to publication or during author revisions.<\/span><\/p>\n
