The study of atmospheric parameters is of primary importance for a deeper understanding of the complex phenomena occurring in the atmosphere, which are closely related to the environmental impact of climate change. In this work, advanced remote sensing applications by means of neural networks using UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) and novel space-borne sensors are described, from UAS-based observations for BRDF (Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function) retrieval and modeling to the monitoring of atmospheric parameters with a focus on precipitation retrieval in tropical cyclones and ash cloud detection in volcanic eruptions.
