CEDAR email: Frontiers Special Issue on Variability in the Solar Wind and its Impact on the Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere System

[Guram Kervalishvili]

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to draw your attention to a special issue in Frontiers in Physics and Astronomy and Space Sciences on the topic of "Variability in the Solar Wind and its Impact on the Coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere System”. We invite you to submit your manuscripts and learn more about this topic at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/60115/variability-in-the-solar-wind-and-its-impact-on-the-coupled-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere-system. 

Please note that the Manuscript Summary's nominal submission deadline is on November 14, 2023, and the Manuscript itself should be submitted by March 13, 2024. This research topic aims to bring together research from different aspects of the Space Weather domain to highlight how solar wind variability governs energy flow through the heliosphere. It includes three main sub-topics (see https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/60115/variability-in-the-solar-wind-and-its-impact-on-the-coupled-magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere-system):
Properties of solar wind structures from the Sun to the magnetosphere. This subsection is dedicated to the various properties of solar wind fluctuations, including their origin, propagation, and evolution from the Sun to the Earth's magnetosphere.
Mechanisms governing the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere. This subsection aims to explore various processes that govern the interaction between solar wind structures and the Earth's magnetosphere. 
Effects of solar wind structures on the ionosphere, thermosphere and human infrastructure. This subsection aims to assess the potential consequences of solar wind fluctuations and their magnetospheric responses on the ionosphere, thermosphere, critical infrastructure and humans, with an emphasis on understanding how these fluctuations could impact various aspects of human life and infrastructure. 

We welcome and encourage contributions to this research topic from diverse research approaches, including theoretical analyses, observational data from ground-based and space-based instruments, and advances in numerical simulations. Combining these methods can offer a comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of solar wind structures and their impact on the coupled Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Thermosphere system, ultimately improving our ability to predict develop mitigation strategies and prepare for extreme space weather events.

Thank you for your attention, and we look forward to receiving your contributions.

Sincerely yours, 

The Topical Editors,
Yi Wang,
Boyi Wang,
Andrey Samsonov,
Nithin Sivadas,
Yulia Bogdanova,
