Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ionospheric delay is one of the most significant error sources affecting GNSS positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) performance. In recent years, with the rapid development of the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites and multi-GNSS satellite systems (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BDS), the increasing amount and quality of multi-frequency and multi-GNSS data have created new opportunities for ionospheric research. As relevant users have higher requirements for PNT services, especially under abnormal ionospheric activity conditions, knowing how to provide stable, real-time, and reliable ionospheric delay correction service or real-time accurate ionospheric anomaly monitoring and early warning service is one of the most important challenges facing GNSS. Therefore, this Special Issue mainly focuses on the theory, technology, and application of ionospheric monitoring with multi-source remote sensing data and the delay correction of multi-GNSS. The scope includes (but is not limited to) the following aspects:
- Novel methods used for multi-source ionospheric data collection, processing, and analysis;
- Ionospheric effects on GNSS;
- GNSS ionospheric structure inversion, space weather, and environment variations;
- Real-time ionospheric total electron content and electron density modeling and monitoring;
- Ionospheric corrections in high-accuracy GNSS positioning;
- Multi-GNSS and multi-frequency signal biases determination;
- Ionospheric anomalous (disturbances or scintillation) studies and impacts on GNSS services and applications;
- Ionospheric disturbances caused by natural hazards, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis;
- GNSS ionospheric applications in geoscience.

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. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
