Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Ionospheric disturbances are considered one of the largest error sources in satellite navigation systems and satellite communications. With the development of technology, the ionospheric and plasma characteristics can now be accurately observed via satellite measurement, which provides an effective way for us to deepen our knowledge of near-Earth space and to better understand the impact of space weather events on precise positioning utilized for navigation.
This Special Issue aims to document the use of satellite remote sensing and in situ measurements to characterize ionospheric and plasma dynamics in the near-Earth environment and asses their impact on space weather.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multi-instrument ionospheric observations;
- The impact of sunlit, solar, and geomagnetic activity on the ionosphere at all latitudes;
- Magnetosphere–ionosphere–thermosphere coupling;
- Ionospheric response to geomagnetic storms;
- Accuracy and precision of radio occultation data;
- Space weather and numerical weather prediction;
- Global ionosphere/plasma through GNSS or low earth orbit satellites;
- Interaction mechanism between ionospheric disturbance/delay and space weather;
- Retrieval and processing techniques;
- AI-driven prediction and modeling of relevant ionospheric parameters;
- ESA's three-satellite Swarm mission;
- CSES (China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite);
- C/NOFS (Communications/Navigation Outage Forecasting System);
- ICON (Ionospheric Connection Explorer).

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.
