Beginning in 2007, Journal of Applied Remote Sensing (JARS) will publish an electronic journal that utilizes revolutionary technology to optimize the communication of concepts, information, and progress among the remote sensing community. Topics covered by the journal include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Past, current, and future experimental, research, and operational atmospheric and environmental remote sensing programs and experiments
• Program and experiment concepts, planning, implementation, strategic partnerships, policies, and measures of success leading to the optimal utilization of remote sensing data
• Surveys and understanding of remote sensing user requirements for programs and experiments
• Multiple interfaces among communities of data providers, algorithm developers, product producers, and end data assimilation, numerical weather prediction, and environmental monitoring users
• Measurement characterization, specifically aspects related to methods for solidifying satellite instrument calibration and intercalibration requirements needed to measure small-scale signals associated with long-term global climate change
• Identification of key satellite remote sensing validation problems/issues and development of methods for solving these issues
• Satellite mission requirements and implementation
• On-board and on-ground data receiving and processing techniques and engineering
• Systems engineering for data distribution, access, archiving, and integration
• Pre- and post-launch system and instrument checks, characterization, and calibration techniques and procedures
• Instrument interface, integration, testing, and packaging
• Space technology development, technology transfer, and new orbital measurement concepts
• Remote sensing sensor technology development, technology transfer, and new instrumentation concepts
• Spacecraft and instrument navigation, co-registration, and measurement stability
• Remote sensing science, theory, and application, and utility training, education, workshops, and public outreach
• Ecological remote sensing and coupled numerical modeling
• Remote sensing data acquisition, communication, compression, system integration, algorithm development, data processing, target selection, product applications, calibration, validation, information analysis, mining, and management
• Bidirectional interfaces among remote sensing communities of sensor designers/builders, data providers, algorithm developers, product producers, and end users
• Remote sensing applications in the atmosphere, oceans, ecosystems, climate, agriculture, land cover/change, space, solar, ice/snow, hazard, fire, pollution, hydrology, and other environmental areas and their related information management, dissemination, and decision making
• All relevant chains and links that are part of effective end-to-end remote sensing processing systems
