Application of Remote Sensing in Solar Physics and Space Weather Studies

Dear Colleagues,

The diverse topics in the fields of solar physics and space weather are subject to extensive ongoing research due to novel observations (ground based as well as satellites close to the Sun and throughout interplanetary space), theoretical advances, and improved computational techniques and resources (software tools, machine learning, and other novel approaches). Multiwavelength and multipoint observations of solar activity and its effects on the heliosphere have been gaining increasing importance in solar and space weather research. The recent heliophysics-dedicated missions (Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter) are expected to continue advancing our understanding on the physics of a diverse range of solar phenomena.

This Special Issue aims at presenting recent results from the remote sensing observations of solar activity phenomena (from near-Earth and other vantage points) in combination with in situ sampling, as well as theoretical and numerical efforts for explaining their physical origin and evolution. A wide range of phenomena will be coerced, from photospheric activity to geomagnetic storms. Both single event studies and large statistics are welcomed with a focus on observations and/or modeling, as well as forecasts of solar activity phenomena. We also encourage reporting on the development of new concepts, instrumentations, and tools for observations and data analyses.

Research articles with previously unpublished results on the topics of solar activity phenomena and space weather using remote and in situ detections are welcomed.

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.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 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.
