Abstract
- In the mainland of China, the number of ionospheric research groups is more than 10. Around 110 articles related to ionospheric physics have been published during 2014-2015. In this annual national report of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), we will outline some recent progresses in ionospheric studies conducted by the Chinese mainland scientists in the past 2 years. These investigations cover (1) the ionosphere responses to geomagnetic activities; (2) ionospheric climatology and structures; (3) couplings between the ionosphere, plasmasphere and lower atmosphere, and possible seismic signatures in the ionosphere; (4) ionospheric irregularities and scintillation; (5) ionospheric models, data assimilation and simulations; (6) ionospheric dynamics and electrodynamics; (7) progresses in the observation methodology and technique; and (8) planetary ionospheres. Such investigations will strengthen our ability to monitor the ionosphere, provide a better understanding of the ionospheric states and the underlying fundamental processes, and improve the ionospheric modeling, forecasting, and related applications.
