This eBook is a collection of articles from a Frontiers Research Topic. Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers Journals Series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area! Find out more on how to host your own Frontiers Research Topic or contribute to one as an author by contacting the Frontiers Editorial Office: frontiersin.org/about/contact

Remote Sensing is of paramount importance for Earth Observation to monitor and analyze the Earth’s vital signs. In this Special Issue are reported the latest research results involving active optical remote sensing instruments, both from ground-based to satellite platforms, that are involved in analyzing the vertical and horizontal aerosol and cloud distribution, other than their geometrical, optical and microphysical properties. Those active optical remote sensing techniques are also very useful in determining pollutant dispersion and the dynamics inside the boundary layer. The published studies put in evidence the hidden mechanisms on how pollution from the source is advected transnationally in other countries and the interaction with local meteorology.

Research & information: general --- rainfall --- lidar --- disdrometer --- evaporation --- meteorology --- climate change --- latent heat --- precipitation --- MOD04 --- Dark-Target --- Deep-Blue --- AERONET --- LiDAR --- AOD --- Beijing --- China --- CALIPSO --- dust top height --- frequency of dust occurrence --- pure dust --- polluted dust --- extinction coefficient --- above-cloud aerosol --- low-level cloud --- cloud base height --- ground-based observations --- relative humidity profile --- threshold --- Yunnan–Kweichow Plateau --- low–latitude plateau monsoon climate --- aerosol type and source --- aerosol properties --- monsoon index --- seasonal variation --- aerosol --- aerosol–cloud interactions --- MPLNET --- image processing --- network --- infrastructure --- virga --- black carbon --- Tibetan plateau --- water vapor transport --- South Asian summer monsoon --- East Asian summer monsoon --- PM2.5 --- radar wind profiler --- wind shear --- dual-field-of-view (FOV) --- geometric overlap factor (GOF) --- blind zone --- transition zone --- mass concentration --- stereo-monitoring networks --- Doppler LiDAR --- spatial wind variability --- air quality --- turbulent mixing --- cloud --- Hong Kong --- aerosols --- remote sensing --- wind lidar --- air-pollution --- radiative effects --- ground based remote sensing --- aerosols optical properties --- lidar ratio --- aerosol type

Next year (2018), we will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health—IJERPH (ISSN 1660-4601). Hence, we are currently organizing a Special Issue to commemorate this important milestone. Founded in 2004, IJERPH has experienced a tremendous growth in terms of the number and quality of scientific publications. With a 2016 impact factor of 2.101, IJERPH now ranks among the top international journals in the emerging field of environmental research and public health. As described on our website (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph), IJERPH is a peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health. Its primary areas of research interests include: Gene-environment interactions Environmental genomics and proteomics Environmental toxicology, mutagenesis and carcinogenesis Environmental epidemiology and disease control Health risk assessment and management Ecotoxicology, and ecological risk assessment and management Natural resources damage assessment Environmental chemistry and computational modeling Environmental policy and management Environmental engineering and biotechnology Emerging issues in environmental health and diseases Environmental education and public health To help celebrate the 15th anniversary, you are kindly invited to submit original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications on any of the above-listed topics. Please also encourage any of our colleagues who may be interested to submit manuscripts. We expect that this issue will attract considerable attention, as we prepare to celebrate the excellent scientific contributions and socio-economic impacts of IJERPH over the past 15 years.
