Summary

The atmospheric environment is critical to ecological balance and human well-being, yet rapid urbanization, industrialization, and climate change have disrupted its composition, intensifying challenges such as air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Satellites like OCO-2/3, GOSAT, and Sentinel-5P have revolutionized atmospheric monitoring, providing high-resolution spatiotemporal data for carbon emissions, greenhouse gas dynamics, and air quality assessment. This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge research leveraging remote sensing technologies for carbon monitoring and atmospheric analysis, encompassing advancements in sensors, algorithms, and integrated applications to enhance our understanding of atmospheric processes and support sustainable environmental management.
