Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ionosphere is an important transition region between the lower atmosphere and the Earth's magnetosphere and has significant temporal and spatial variations. The spatio-temporal distribution of charged particles in the ionosphere is affected by several physical processes, such as electrodynamics under the action of the Earth's magnetic field and collisions with neutral particles. In recent decades, with the continuous development of science and technology and the expansion of human activities into the upper atmosphere and space field, the ionosphere has gained increasing prominence, and monitoring and understanding this layer is thus critical. We invite you to submit papers providing new insights into observations of the ionospheric effect. Relevant directions include ionospheric space weather, ionospheric structures and climatology, ionospheric dynamics and couplings, ionospheric irregularity and scintillation, modeling and data assimilation, and ionosphere and sounding techniques.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
