CEDAR email: Papers are invited for special Issue in Advances in Space Research

[Dr.Venkatesh Kavutarapu]

Announcement of a Special Issue of Advances in Space Research on

"Variability and Coupling of the Equatorial, Low- and Mid-Latitude
Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Ionosphere: Latest Developments of Monitoring
and Modeling Techniques"



Papers are invited for a special topical issue of Advances in Space
Research (ASR) entitled “Variability and Coupling of the Equatorial, Low-
and Mid-Latitude Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Ionosphere: Latest
Developments of Monitoring and Modeling Techniques”.


The coupling processes taking place between mesosphere, thermosphere and
ionosphere, from equatorial to mid latitudes, are of significant importance
to understand the variability of Earth’s middle and upper atmosphere. The
main objective of this ASR special issue is to highlight the latest
developments in the field of equatorial, low- and mid-latitude mesosphere,
thermosphere and ionosphere from both monitoring and modeling point of
view. The ASR special issue is open to all scientists who have an
appropriate scientific paper related to various aspects in this area that
include: Short-term, long-term and space-time variability of the
mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere; Coupling between high-, mid- and
low-latitude ionospheric processes; Equatorial electrodynamics: Equatorial
Ionization Anomaly (EIA), Equatorial Electrojet (EEJ), equatorial vertical
drift; F-region multi-layer stratification, F3 and StF4 layers; Spread-F
phenomena; Mid-latitude trough; Sporadic E layer; Ionospheric
irregularities, scintillations and loss-of-locks; Magnetosphere-ionosphere
interactions; Space weather effects on the ionosphere;
Nowcasting/forecasting modelling of the ionosphere, data assimilation
techniques and ionospheric tomography; Real-time representation of the
ionospheric plasma; Ionospheric turbulence; Ionospheric convection;
Satellite and ground based observational techniques. We welcome high
quality and relevant manuscripts from all scientists in the upper
atmosphere community.


Papers must be submitted electronically to http://ees.elsevier.com/asr. To
ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the
special issue, authors must select “Special Issue: MTI Latest Developments”
when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.


Submitted papers must be written in English and they should include full
affiliation postal addresses for all authors. Only full-length papers will
be considered for publication, subject to peer review by a minimum of two
reviewers. There are no page limits although the length of the paper should
be appropriate for the material being presented. While the deadline for
submissions is 15th February 2019, papers will be published electronically
as soon as they are accepted.  The printed issue will be assembled within a
reasonable time with late papers being printed in regular issues of ASR.
All articles will be typeset at no cost to the author; there is a nominal
charge for printing color figures although there is no charge for color
figures on the electronic version.


Dr. Venkatesh Kavutarapu (venkatkau at gmail.com) and Dr. Michael Pezzopane
(michael.pezzopane at ingv.it) are the Guest Editors for this special
issue. Questions can be directed to Drs. Venkatesh and Pezzopane or to the
Co-Editor for Special Issues, Dr. Peggy Ann Shea (sssrc at msn.com).


The general format for submission of papers can be found on the ASR
Elsevier web site at http://www.journals.elsevier.c
om/advances-in-space-research/


With best regards

Dr. K. Venkatesh (Guest Editor, ASR Special issue, venkatkau at gmail.com)
