Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The focus of this Special Issue is the propagation of ULF/VLF/ELF electromagnetic waves in the inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma and interactions between these waves and energetic particles in the Earth’s radiation belt. The interest in these problems is motivated by the novel, frontier physics of wave propagation in highly inhomogeneous, magnetized plasma and by the ability of these waves to interact efficiently with energetic particles in the radiation belts. Recently, complex and expensive space and ground-based experiments have been proposed to further address the understanding of various aspects of radiation belt physics. Obviously, the success of these experiments will strongly depend on a comprehensive and quantitative understanding of wave dynamics and wave–particle interactions in the magnetosphere. We invite papers focusing on theory, modeling, and observations of ULF, VLF, and ELF waves and wave–particle interactions in the Earth’s radiation belt.

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.
