CEDAR email: Final Call for Special Issue on Ionospheric Imaging in Advances in Space Research (ASR)

[Marcio Muella]

Dear Colleagues,

Please find below the final call for special issue on Ionospheric 
Imaging in the journal of _Advances in Space Research_ (ASR).

Guest Editors

M. Muella & F. Prol

Final Call for Submissions: Special Issue in Advances in Space Research 
(ASR)

Researchers are invited to submit papers for the final call of the 
special issue of _Advances in Space Research (ASR)_ on "Ionospheric 
Imaging: Recent Advances and Future Directions" 
(https://cosparhq.cnes.fr/publications/advances-in-space-research-asr/#call_for_paper).

This edition will explore the latest developments in ionospheric 
imaging--a technique using ground-based, space-based, and radio 
occultation systems to create ionospheric images that aid in studying 
its effects on communication and navigation. The issue will cover topics 
such as:

  	* Validation and enhancement of imaging techniques: Innovations in 2D, 
3D, and 4D imaging from various observations and use of data to refine 
ionospheric models.
  	* Ionospheric tomography: Studies on ionospheric variability and new 
techniques in computerized tomography, including machine learning 
applications.
  	* Data assimilation for improved imaging: Advances in data 
assimilation (DA) techniques to enhance imaging accuracy and 
applicability for targeted purposes.
  	* Instrumentation advancements and practical applications: Development 
of new imaging instruments and applications in communication, 
navigation, space weather forecasting, and satellite dynamics.

Exclusive Opportunity: This special issue will feature a unique section 
dedicated to _collaborative projects and open data initiatives_ in 
ionospheric imaging. Contributions that showcase global partnerships, 
public datasets, and innovative tools for addressing challenges in 
ionospheric science are strongly encouraged, providing authors with a 
platform to demonstrate the broader impact of their work.

This special issue aims to present the current accuracy in ionospheric 
models, highlight technological impacts across space science, 
telecommunications, and atmospheric physics, and inspire further 
research.

Manuscripts must be submitted electronically via the ASR portal by 15 
February 2025 (https://www.editorialmanager.com/AISR).

To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion in 
the special issue, authors must select "Special Issue: Ionospheric 
Imaging" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission 
process.

Dr. Marcio Muella (mmuella at univap.br) and Dr. Fabricio Prol 
(Fabricio.dossantosprol at nls.fi) are the Guest Editors for this special 
issue. Questions can be directed to Drs. Muella or Prol or to the 
Co-Editor for Special Issues, Dr. Peggy Ann Shea (sssrc at msn.com).
