Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Many events can help to induce geomagnetic disturbances such as solar activity, magnetic storm, volcano eruption, and earthquakes. As a major physical property of the Earth, the geomagnetic field is also a direct medium which acts to connect the lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. Partial geomagnetic disturbances cause malfunctions in global satellite navigation systems, radar systems, and communication systems. In recent years, with global coverage by dedicated satellites such as the Swarm constellation and China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES), the scientific community has achieved long-term data integration. This provides an important way for researchers to study electromagnetic monitoring and its near-Earth space dynamics on different time scales and illustrate the coupling processes among different geospheres during the significant events of outer space and the Earth. Artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision and deep learning can also be combined in order to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of abnormal signals and to distinguish and improve prediction efficiency for natural hazards.

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of Remote Sensing. The goal in doing so is to gather research contributions related to ground-based and space-borne geomagnetic and electromagnetic observations in order to deepen our understanding of global geomagnetic events, space plasma physics, the lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanism, and the core dynamics of the lithospheric and ionospheric magnetic fields.

Abstract

Taking the Luding Ms6.8 earthquake (EQ) on 5 September 2022 as a case study, we investigated the potential seismic anomalies of the ionosphere, infrared radiation, atmospheric electrostatic field (AEF), and hot spring ions in the seismogenic region. Firstly, we analyzed the multi-parameter anomalies in the ionosphere around the epicenter and found synchronous anomalous disturbances in the ground parameters, namely the global ionospheric map (GIM), GPS, TEC, and satellite parameters, such as the He⁺ and O⁺ densities on 26 August under relatively quiet solar–geomagnetic conditions (F10.7 < 120 SFU; Kp < 3; Dst > −30 nT; |AE| < 500 nT). Next, both the anomaly analysis of the infrared radiation and AEF, and the survey results of the Luding EQ scientific expedition on the hot spring ions showed pre-seismic anomalous variations at different time periods in the seismogenic region. The characteristics of Earth’s multi-sphere coupling anomalies in temporal evolution and spatial distribution were obvious, which validated the Lithosphere–Atmosphere–Ionosphere Coupling (LAIC) mechanism. Finally, combining the analysis results and the LAIC mechanism, we suggested that the multi-sphere coupling anomalies were more likely associated with the Luding Ms6.8 EQ, and that the differential motion and the regional crustal stress accumulation between the Chuandian block and the Bayan Har block might have led to this EQ. Furthermore, remote sensing and ground-based monitoring technologies can play an important role in corroborating and compensating each other, while further study of the multi-sphere coupling mechanism will provide a clearer understanding of the seismogenic process for major EQs.
