Announcement of a Special Issue of Advances in Space Research on
Studies on Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Ionosphere from Equatorial to Mid
Latitudes - Recent Investigations and Improvements
Papers are invited for a special topical issue of Advances in Space
Research (ASR) entitled "Studies on Mesosphere, Thermosphere and Ionosphere
from Equatorial to Mid Latitudes - Recent Investigations and Improvements".
The main objective of this ASR special issue is to highlight the recent
advances in the field of equatorial, low- and mid-latitude mesosphere,
thermosphere and ionosphere from theoretical, observational and simulations
studies. The ASR special issue is open to all scientists who have an
appropriate scientific paper related to various aspects in this area that
include: Short-term, long-term and space-time variability of the mesosphere,
thermosphere and ionosphere; Coupling between high-, mid- and low-latitude
ionospheric processes; Equatorial electrodynamics (EEJ, EIA, ESF etc.,);
F-region multi-layer stratification; Ionospheric irregularities,
scintillations and loss-of-locks; Magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions;
Space weather effects on the ionosphere; St. Patrick’s day storm;
Nowcasting/forecasting, modelling of the ionosphere, data assimilation
techniques and ionospheric tomography; Satellite and ground based
observational techniques. We welcome high quality and relevant manuscripts
from all scientists in the upper atmosphere community.
Papers must be submitted electronically to http://ees.elsevier.com/asr. To
ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for inclusion into the
special issue, authors must select "Special Issue: Recent advances in MTI
" when they reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process.
Submitted papers must be written in English and they should include full
affiliation postal addresses for all authors. Only full-length papers will
be considered for publication, subject to peer review by a minimum of two
reviewers. There are no page limits although the length of the paper should
be appropriate for the material being presented. While the deadline for
submissions is 31 March 2017, papers will be published electronically as
soon as they are accepted. The printed issue will be assembled within a
reasonable time with late papers being printed in regular issues of ASR. All
articles will be typeset at no cost to the author; there is a nominal charge
for printing color figures although there is no charge for color figures on
the electronic version.
Dr. Venkatesh Kavutarapu (venkatkau@gmail.com) and Dr. Michael Pezzopane
(michael.pezzopane@ingv.it) are the Guest Editors for this special issue.
Questions can be directed to Drs. Kavutarapu and Pezzopane or to the
Co-Editor for Special Issues, Dr. Peggy Ann Shea (sssrc@msn.com).
The general format for submission of papers can be found on the ASR Elsevier
