Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to take full advantage of current operating electromagnetic measurements and other related remote sensing satellites (e.g., infrared, hyperspectral, GNSS, etc.), to study the electromagnetic environment in space, and to explore the natural hazards (e.g., earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, typhoons, and hurricanes or space weather events, etc.) monitoring methods and technology.

At present, there are plenty of satellites (e.g., DMSP, NOAA, Swarm, CSES, FORMOSAT, COSMIC, etc.) operating in near-earth space, providing us with the multi-physical values to explore the near-space electromagnetic environment in terms of the occurrence of the electromagnetic waves and fields, the variation features of the plasma parameters, energetic particles fluxes, etc. Based on the knowledge of the electromagnetic environment in space, we can study how to extract the anomaly information or precursors of natural hazards. Research topics may include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Data processing, validation, and evaluation methods of measurements, including electromagnetic satellites, GNSS/Radar, Infrared/Hyperspectral satellites.
  • Background features of the electromagnetic environment under different space weather conditions.
  • Case and statistical observations analysis on natural hazards from multi-source data.
  • Theory and modeling of electromagnetic and thermodynamic effects before, during and after the occurrence of natural hazards.
  • The latest developments in the predictability of earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and typhoons based on both ground and space stereoscopic monitoring.

Earthquakes (EQs) are a significant natural threat to humanity. In recent years, with advancements in space observation technology, it has been put forward that the electromagnetic effects of earthquakes can propagate into space in various ways, causing electromagnetic radiation and plasma disturbances in space and leading to high–energy particle precipitation. The China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) is specifically designed for monitoring the space electromagnetic environment. In our study, we select 78 strong earthquakes from September 2018 to February 2023 (global earthquakes with M ⩾ 7.0 and the major seismic regions in China with M ⩾ 6.0). We focus on 10 of the latitude and longitude around the epicenter, spanning from 15 days before the earthquake to 5 days after, and look for anomalies in spatial evolution and temporal evolution. We present some typical cases of electron flux perturbation and summarize the anomalies of all 78 cases to look for regularity in EQ–related particle anomalies. Notably, we introduce two cases of simultaneous electromagnetic and energetic particle anomalies during earthquakes. And we propose a conjecture that the particle precipitation may be the result of wave–particle interactions triggered by seismic activity. Full article
