CEDAR email: JSWSC Special Issue: Ionospheric Plasma Irregularities and Scintillation

[Astrid Maute]

This Topical Issue arises from the virtual European Geophysical Union
General Assembly (vEGU21) held in April 2021, primarily from the Session
ST3.3 entitled "Towards better understanding of the ionospheric plasma
irregularities and scintillations
<https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU21/session/40166>". However, it
is not reserved to papers presented during this session and is open for all
submissions within the scope.

Plasma density irregularities can occur at all latitudes in the Earth's
ionosphere. However, the onset and evolution of these irregularities as
well as their influence on the radio wave signals continue to be unsolved
scientific questions. The various proposed generation mechanisms, including
instability growth rates and seeding processes, are strongly coupled to the
neutral atmosphere and magnetospheric dynamics, making the forecasting of
ionospheric irregularities much more challenging. Recent observations from
ground- and space-based measurements, as well as new innovative data
analysis and modeling techniques, e.g., data assimilation and machine
learning, have the potential to advance our understanding of the
ionospheric irregularities. Studies that focus on the observation, modeling
and prediction of ionospheric plasma irregularities of different scales are
welcome to be submitted to this topical issue in Journal of Space Weather
and Space Climate (JSWSC). The mitigation of negative effects and recent
developments to forecast scintillation effects on Global Navigation
Satellite or other communication systems are also of high interest.

Manuscripts must be submitted via the JSWSC online submission tool.
Guidelines for submission of papers are found on the JSWSC web site under
the tab "Instruction for Authors
<https://www.swsc-journal.org/author-information/instructions-for-authors>".



*Deadline: 30 November 2021*

All manuscripts will be peer reviewed according to the quality standards of
international scientific journals. The type of contributions must fit the
style of JSWSC. All manuscripts should contain enough new insight, present
the results against a properly referenced background of existing work, and
present adequate evidence that supports the conclusions. Accepted papers
are published in electronic format only, and are freely available to
everyone via the JSWSC website. JSWSC offers the possibility to include
electronic material, such as animations, movies, codes and data.

The Topical Editor-in-Chief (T-EiC) for this TI is Chao Xiong
<xiongchao at whu.edu.cn> from the Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. He will be
joined by 4 Topical Editors (TE):

·         Lucilla Alfonsi, Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia
(INGV), Roma, Italy

·         Jens Berdermann, German Aerospace Center (DLR), Neustrelitz,
Germany

·         Yaqi Jin, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway

·         Jeffrey Klenzing, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt,
MD, USA



For questions regarding this Topical Issue, please, contact the T-EiC
<xiongchao at whu.edu.cn>. For questions concerning the submission
process the Editorial
Office <jswsc at edpsciences.org> should be contacted.
