Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ionosphere is an important part of the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Many space weather events, such as solar wind, solar flare, coronal mass ejection, and geomagnetic storm, can cause ionospheric disturbances. Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons, can also trigger ionospheric distrubances. The global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is a well-established ionospheric observing system which can accurately sense ionospheric total electron content, ionosphric density, ionospheric storms, travelling ionospheric disturbances, sudden ionospheric disturbances, and so on. The advanced GNSS has heralded a new era of ionospheric sounding and severe space weather monitoring. The effective monitoring and timely forecasting of severe space weather events are expected to help prevent disasters and protect lives on our planet. To take advantage of the advanced GNSS technique, this Special Issue mainly focuses on papers that address a series of topics, including (but not limited to) the following:
- Advanced GNSS ionoshperic sounding and data processing;
- The data mining of ionospheric products;
- The monitoring of ionospheric disturbances using GNSS techniques;
- Severe space weather events forecasting;
- Ionospheric disturbances triggered by solar wind, solar flare, and cornal mass ejection;
- Ionospheric disturbances triggered by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, and typhoons.
Miscellaneous interdisciplinary studies and new applications in ionosphere, atmosphere, meteorology, and climatology fields are also welcome.

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. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
