Remote Sensing in Cloudy and Rainy Environments: Challenges, Advances, and Applications
Cloudy and rainy environments are common in tropical, subtropical, and other regions frequently affected by cloud cover and rainfall. These challenging conditions pose significant obstacles to remote sensing data acquisition, processing, and applications, while also motivating innovation in methodologies and technologies. Effective remote sensing methods and applications in these regions are crucial for supporting environmental monitoring, disaster management, and sustainable development, making this a key focus of environmental remote sensing research.
This Article Collection focuses on the latest advances in remote sensing methods and applications for cloudy and rainy environments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Cloud detection and removal
- Multisource and multimodal data fusion
- Time series analysis and change detection
- Land cover/use mapping
- Agricultural and crop monitoring
- Disaster mapping and response
- Geohazards monitoring and modelling
- SAR/InSAR algorithms and applications
- Deep learning applications in cloud-prone and rainy areas
Submissions ranging from theoretical advances to practical applications are welcome to explore future directions of remote sensing in cloudy and rainy environments. This Article Collection aims to advance methodological and technological progress in remote sensing applications under challenging weather conditions and support sustainable development in cloudy and rainy environments.
All manuscripts submitted to this Article Collection will undergo a full peer-review; the Guest Advisors for this Collection will not be handling the manuscripts.
