This is an important achievement for GRSS since it has never had a publication in the magazine format. The magazine will provide a new venue to publish high quality technical articles that by their very nature do not find a home in journals requiring scientific innovation but that provide relevant information to scientists, engineers, end-users, and students who interact in different ways with the geoscience and remote sensing disciplines. The magazine will publish tutorial papers and technical papers on geoscience and remote sensing topics, as well as papers that describe relevant applications of and projects based on topics addressed by our society. The magazine will also publish columns on: — New satellite missions — Standard remote sensing data sets — Education in remote sensing — Women in geoscience and remote sensing — Industrial profiles — University profiles — GRSS Technical Committee activities — GRSS Chapter activities — Conferences and workshops. The new magazine is published in with an appealing layout, and its articles will be included with an electronic format in the IEEE Xplore online archive. The magazine content is freely available to GRSS members. This call for papers is to encourage all readers to prepare and submit articles and technical content for review to be published in the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine. Contributions for the above-mentioned columns of the magazine are also welcome. All technical papers will undergo blind review by multiple reviewers. The submission and the review process is managed at the IEEE Manuscript Central as it is already done for the three GRSS journals. Prospective authors are required to submit electronically using the website http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/grs and selecting the “Geoscience and Remote Sensing Magazine” option from the drop-down list. Instructions for creating new user accounts, if necessary, are avail- able on the login screen. No other manners of submission are accepted. Papers should be submitted in single column, double-spaced format. The review process will assess the technical quality and/or the tutorial value of the contributions. The magazine will publish also special issues. Readers interested to propose a special issue can contact the Editor In Chief. For any additional information and for submitting papers contact the Editor In Chief: Prof. Lorenzo Bruzzone University of Trento, Trento, Italy E-Mail: [email protected]_____________________ Phone: +39 0461 28 2056 Digital Object Identifier 10.1109/MGRS.2013.2291173 qM qMqM Previous Page | Contents | Zoom in | Zoom out | Front Cover | Search Issue | Next Page qMqM Qma gs THE WORLD’S NEWSSTAND® qM qMqM Previous Page | Contents | Zoom in | Zoom out | Front Cover | Search Issue | Next Page qMqM Qma gs THE WORLD’S NEWSSTAND® DECEMBER 2013 VOLUME 1, NUMBER 4 WWW.GRSS-IEEE.ORG_____________ FEATURE Satellite Remote Sensing in Support 8 of an Integrated Ocean Observing System by Frank Muller-Karger, Mitchell Roffer, Nan Walker, Matt Oliver, Oscar Schofield, Mark Abbott, Hans Graber, Robert Leben, and Gustavo Goni IMAGE COURTESY OF GENE C.
