State of the Art of Geomagnetic/Electromagnetic Satellites: Science and Applications (Second Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Many events can help to induce geomagnetic disturbances, such as solar activity, magnetic storms, volcano eruptions, and earthquakes. As a major physical property of the Earth, the geomagnetic field is also a direct medium which acts to connect the lithosphere, atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. Partial geomagnetic disturbances cause malfunctions in global satellite navigation systems, radar systems, and communication systems. In recent years, with global coverage using dedicated satellites, such as the Swarm constellation and China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES), the scientific community has achieved long-term data integration. This provides an important method for researchers to study electromagnetic monitoring and its near-Earth space dynamics on different time scales and to illustrate the coupling processes among different geospheres during the significant events in outer space and on the Earth. Artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision and deep learning can also be combined to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of abnormal signals, as well as to distinguish between them and improve prediction efficiency for natural hazards.

It is our pleasure to announce the launch of a new Special Issue of Remote Sensing. Our goal in doing so is to gather research contributions related to ground-based and space-borne geomagnetic and electromagnetic observations, in order to deepen our understanding of global geomagnetic events, space plasma physics, the lithosphere–atmosphere–ionosphere coupling mechanism, and the core dynamics of the lithospheric and ionospheric magnetic fields.

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.
