The proposed Special Issue will address both recent theoretical and empirical results concerning the coupling mechanisms through dynamics, composition and electrodynamics. Papers focusing on the modulation of waves from the lower to the upper atmosphere as well as from low- to high-latitudes, electrodynamic and compositional changes, plasma drifts, electric fields and plasma irregularities at different latitudinal regions of the globe due to the varying energy inputs are of particular interest. The manner in which the couplings take place due to varying geomagnetic activity, changing energy inputs from the Sun and from the lower atmosphere together with the downward control effects transferring from the strongly solar dependent structure to the lower atmospheric levels and upward propagating structures induced in the lower atmosphere by changing solar activity are welcome.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: justify; text-indent: 35.4pt;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""><br class="">Papers dealing with experiments, observations, modeling and data analysis that describe the effects of atmospheric coupling processes within the atmosphere-ionosphere system</span><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span><span lang="EN-US" class="">are kindly invited. </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;" class="">Please, consider to contribute by submitting an article for the Special Issue of the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-indent: 35.4pt;" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Papers should be submitted via EVISE system: <a href="https://www.evise.com/profile/#/ATP/login" style="color: purple;" class="">https://www.evise.com/profile/#/ATP/login</a><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: justify;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Guides for authors can be found on the web: <a href="https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-atmospheric-and-solar-terrestrial-physics/1364-6826/guide-for-authors" style="color: purple;" class="">https://www.elsevier.com/journals/journal-of-atmospheric-and-solar-terrestrial-physics/1364-6826/guide-for-authors</a><o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""><br class=""></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Important dates:<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">The submission will be open on 1 November, 2016. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">The submission deadline for this specific call for articles is on 1 March, 2017.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><b class=""><span lang="EN-US" class="">Important! </span></b><span lang="EN-US" class="">During submission process, please, select Special Issue: <b class="">Vertical Coupling</b>.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> </span><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span lang="EN-US" class="">Sincerely,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-size: 11pt; line-height: 16.866666793823242px; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Petra Koucka Knizova</span><br class="">
