Studies on mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere from equatorial to mid latitudes – Recent investigations and improvements – Part 1

Abstract

To bring out the recent findings on mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere on a common platform, a special issue has been called for, inviting appropriate articles from scientists all over the world. An overwhelming response has been received with a total of more than 100 submissions with principal authors spread over 28 countries. A rigorous review process has been carried out with most of manuscripts reviewed by more than two reviewers. Due to the large number of papers, it was decided to present the special issue in two parts. A total of 29 papers accepted by 30 June 2017 are presented as Part-1 in this issue. Further accepted papers will be published as Part-2, which is expected to be printed in Vol. 61, 2018.
