Remote Sensing for Ionospheric Studies

This special issue belongs to the section “Environmental Remote Sensing“.

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue invites contributions that explore the application of remote sensing techniques to study the ionosphere, with a focus on new techniques, methodologies, and innovative approaches. The ionosphere plays a crucial role in space weather phenomena, affecting communication, navigation systems, and satellite operations. Understanding its dynamics requires advanced methods to monitor and analyze its complex structure and behavior. We encourage submissions on topics including but not limited to the following:

  • Novel remote sensing techniques for ionospheric observations (e.g., radars, optical systems, and GPS);
  • Multi-instrument observations of the ionosphere system;
  • New algorithms for processing and interpreting remote sensing data;
  • Observational and modeling studies of ionospheric physics and chemistries;
  • The study of space weather phenomena, climatology, and ionospheric disturbances using remote sensing techniques;
  • Cross-disciplinary studies involving ionospheric remote sensing and other atmospheric layers.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
