Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Gravity waves are associated with the lower atmosphere including the topography; volcanic eruptions, typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, etc.; storm-time Joule heating; and sunset terminator. Gravity waves originated from the lower atmosphere can propagate from the lower atmosphere to the thermosphere and ionosphere. It has a significant effect on the diurnal and seasonal variations of the thermosphere and ionosphere. Moreover, the seeding of ionospheric instability might be also related to gravity waves. There are still many open questions on the role of gravity waves in the variations of the thermosphere and ionosphere. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide recent advances in the field of gravity waves in thermospheric and ionospheric weather. It could help us to further understand how gravity waves behave in the stable and instable variations of the upper atmosphere (thermosphere and ionosphere).
We invite you to submit your research for publication in this Special Issue, which aims to improve the understanding of atmospheric gravity waves in the variations of the thermosphere and ionosphere.

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.
