Description:
Over the past decade, numerous remote sensing satellites have been launched with many more
planned for launch in the next decade. Remote sensing of the Earth’s atmosphere, ocean, land
surfaces, forests, and cryosphere has become crucial for monitoring our planet’s resources,
managing disasters, and for the study of global climate change. Satellite remote sensing is a
critical tool that provides global monitoring at frequent update rates. The technologies of
microwave, millimeter wave, thermal infrared, lidar, and imaging spectroscopic sensors have
also made major advances in the last decade. The special issue will review these advances with
descriptions of satellite missions from multiple countries. The special issue is divided into two
parts: Part 1 is titled “Microwave Remote Sensing of Earth: Recent Progress and Future
Outlook” and Part 2 is titled “Remote Sensing of the Earth: Optical Sensors and Big Data
Technologies”
