Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the devastating consequences of strong earthquakes, the identification of reliable precursor signatures is of paramount importance. There are many anomalies that occur before strong earthquakes such as changes to underground water level, air temperature variations, linear cloud anomalies, total electron content anomalies, local (in situ) anomalies of space plasma parameters (concentrations of ions and electrons, ion and electron temperatures, mass compositions and concentrations of the major ions), extraordinary extremely low frequency (ELF) and VLF emissions measured onboard a satellite, quasi-constant magnetic and electrostatic fields, extraordinary particle precipitation fluxes for different energy bands and so on. However, before using these precursors to predict earthquakes, it is essential to understand the coupling mechanism among geology, atmosphere and ionosphere before strong earthquakes. Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue, entitled “Coupling among Geology, Atmosphere and Ionosphere before Strong Earthquakes” is to gather the research regarding precursors before earthquakes (especially for strong earthquakes) and the coupling among geology, atmosphere 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.
