Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Airborne Doppler wind lidars have been available for research and other applications for several decades. The more capable ADWLs are one-of-a-kind and thus are limited in number and availability. With an increase in commercially available Doppler wind lidars for wind energy and military applications, there is a parallel potential for the development of airborne versions and, thus, the advancement of the science and applications enabled by ADWLs with various SWAP attributes.
This Special Issue will highlight airborne Doppler wind lidar technologies, applications, and research results with an emphasis on emerging new technologies and their enabled capabilities.

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.
