Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Space weather is of rising importance both in scientific and social areas, and as the space weather observations expand to cover several tens of years, space climate research is of rising importance, too.

This Special Issue aims to collect theoretical, observational, numerical simulation and model validation papers. Potential topics include but are not limited to solar flare, sunspot and active region, solar energetic particles, coronal mass ejection, solar wind, geomagnetic storm and substorm, ionospheric irregularity and storm, space weather modeling and forecast, and model validation.

This Special Issue especially welcomes papers on long-term space climate research, as well as the possible impacts of space weather and space climate on weather and climate.

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. Universe is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A study of the behavior of the main characteristics of the ionosphere over Europe during the 26–28 February 2023 ionospheric storm was carried out in this present work. The additional influence of sudden stratospheric warming on the ionosphere was considered. The behavior of the critical frequency of the ionosphere foF2 (characterizing the maximum electron density), the peak height of the F2-layer (hmF2), and Total Electron Content (TEC) were investigated through their relative deviations from the quiet conditions. The behavior of the TEC over Europe showed the geographic latitudinal dependence of the response. The variability in the ionospheric critical frequency was represented by the data of 10 ionospheric stations for vertical sounding located in two groups: (i) near the prime meridian and (ii) near the 25° E meridian. Some differences were found in the response compared to the TEC response, which was explained by the different responses of the top maximum region and bottom maximum region. The peak height of the F2 layer varied strongly during the storm, which was due to the forced drift of ionospheric plasma induced by additional electric fields. The present detailed analysis of the ionospheric response shows that the considered storm exhibited characteristic features inherent in the winter season but with some manifestations of reactions in equinox conditions.
