Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is a follow-up of the first Special Issue entitled “Recent Advances in Ionosphere Observation and Investigation” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/atmosphere/special_issues/942A3X5G1A) published in Atmosphere and will cover all aspects of recent advances in ionosphere observation, investigation, modeling, and forecasting, with interests in ionosphere characterization under the influence of external drives, in association with space weather, as well as under internal atmosphere drives.
The ionosphere has received special attention in recent decades because it critically affects the propagation of radio signals, which are widely used in GNSS applications, HF/VHF/UHF radio communications, air and ground traffic control, petrol platform stabilization, precision agriculture, and satellite control and operations, among others. Space weather is the main driver of the ionosphere conditions, so it has recently been considered a natural hazard because it can potentially endanger humans by impacting actual technologies and infrastructures.
Observations using multi-instruments and networks have been of great importance in the characterization of the ionosphere at different heights and at regional and global scales. Combined observations using ground- and space-based platforms have permitted the characterization of ionosphere dynamics over large spatial scales from low to high latitudes and at different longitude sectors, under quiet and disturbed geomagnetic conditions.
Contributions related to large spatial and temporal ionosphere conditions, under different drivers and geomagnetic conditions, and particularly reviews thereof are welcome. Ionosphere characterization is important for climatology and forecasting, which are used to mitigate the problems caused in modern technology based on radio communication and navigation.
Authors are invited to contribute papers related, but not limited, to the following topics:
- Multi-instrument ionospheric observations;
- Ionospheric dynamics;
- Ionospheric irregularities;
- Influence of solar and geomagnetic activities in the ionosphere;
- Ionosphere coupling between high and low latitudes;
- Ionosphere coupling with lower layers of the atmosphere.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
