The scope of the special issue is to advance our knowledge of the terrestrial and space weather system using the new satellite mission, FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 mission. With the aboundant radio occultation observations of both atmosphere and ionosphere after one year on orbit, new science findings, improvments on the global and regional terrestrial and space weather forecast and nowcast could be reached. The secondary payloads, RF beacon and ionosphere velocity meter (IVM) also provide uniques chances of constellation observations of the ionosphere irregularities that could impact the satellite communications.

This special issue will come along with the 5th International Conference on GPS Radio Occultation (ICGPSRO) that scienitsts utilized the FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 data will present their latest results of the applications.

As FORMOSAT-7/COSMIC-2 continue the success of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC, we also plan to invite a couple review papers on the achievement of the FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC.

    Dr. Shu-Chih Yang received her Ph.D degree from Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science in University of Maryland under Prof. Eugenia Kalnay. Her research interest is to study dynamical predictability through data assimilation methods and ensemble forecasting. After she joined the department, she has been focusing on improving the severe weather prediction in Taiwan through the regional data assimilation. She coupled the Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (LETKF) method with the Weather and Research Forecasting (WRF) model and established the NCU regional data assimilation system.

    Dr. Nicholas Pedatella is a scientist in the High Altitude Observatory at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research. His research primarily focuses on investigating the processes that couple variability in the lower atmosphere to the middle-upper atmosphere. His research is conducted using a variety of satellite observations and numerical models. He is additionally interested in the development and application of whole atmosphere data assimilation techniques, as well as the development of improved techniques for remote sensing of the ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite System observations.
