Advances in Ionospheric Studies over Polar Areas

Dear Colleagues,

Solar–terrestrial interactions affect the entire Earth, but polar areas, being directly connected with outer space through the geomagnetic field lines, are a natural laboratory to monitor and conduct fundamental research on space weather and its effects on modern technological systems. Currently, different instruments support space weather research of the ionosphere and coupled magnetosphere–ionosphere system, from ground-based observations (Global Navigation Satellite System receivers, coherent and incoherent scatter radars, ionosondes, magnetometers, riomters, all-sky-imagers) to in-situ measurements provided by Low-Earth Orbit satellites and sounding rockets. Papers are welcomed which concern, among other subjects, recent developments in modeling and forecasting, monitoring methodologies, metrology, data analysis (especially based on multi-instrument observations), measurement campaigns and international initiatives related to the understanding of ionospheric structures, morphology, dynamics and related threats on technological systems such as communication and position, navigation and timing systems at high latitudes.

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.
