This ASR issue is open to all scientists who may have an appropriate scientific paper related to all aspects in this area that include: coupling between the lower and upper atmosphere; interconnection between low-, mid-, and high-latitude mesospheric, thermospheric, and ionospheric processes; ionospheric irregularities and scintillations; sporadic E-layer; prediction of equatorial spread-F (ESF) and plasma bubbles; the F3 layer; MLT and thermospheric wind system; ionospheric electrodynamics; equatorial ionospheric current system; long- and short-period variability; storm and substorm effects; latitudinal and /or longitudinal variability including development and decay of equatorial ionization anomaly (EIA); effects of severe space weather events; nowcasting/forecasting and modeling of ionosphere for different applications; novel observational techniques including ionospheric tomography and radio occultation technique.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Times','serif';mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Times','serif';mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We welcome original and high-quality relevant manuscripts from all scientists in the upper atmosphere community.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Times','serif';mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="font-size: 12.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;font-family: 'Times','serif';mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"> </span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">Papers must be submitted electronically to <a href="http://ees.elsevier.com/asr" data-mce-href="http://ees.elsevier.com/asr" target="_blank">http://ees.elsevier.com/asr</a>.
