Institute of Radiowave Propagation (CRIRP), Beijing, China during the years 2006-2009, and received his PhD in radio physics from Xidian University in 2009.
He is now working on the COSMIC-2 project, which is the next generation mission of COSMIC. He has been a frequent reviewer for ~20 international journals and has published ~80 SCI papers in related fields. He collaborates with a variety of colleagues from around the world. He is a member of AGU, AMS, and ION.
He is currently a senior engineer in LEME, CRIRP, Qingdao, China. His research interests have included ionospheric physics, ionospheric modelling (empirical and numerical), ionospheric forecast (long-term and short-term), and radio propagation. His research now is mainly focused on ionospheric variability/disturbances (originating from solar and geomagnetic activities, and from atmospheric and lithospheric processes).
Submissions to Space Research Today Anyone may submit an article or news item to SRT and, in the spirit of a bulletin publication, we aim to be as flexible as possible in the submission procedures. Submission should be made in English, by e-mail to any member of the Editorial Team (see inside front cover for contact details)
Xinan Yue
Xinan Yue got his PhD in space physics from the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2008. His PhD thesis focused on the theoretical modelling of the ionosphere and thermosphere and data assimilation as well. He joined the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research in 2009 and is now working as a project scientist of the (Constellation Observing Systems for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC) Program Office, where he is doing GNSS radio occultation data process, evaluation and related scientific research.
Submissions may be made in the following formats: o E-mail text (especially appropriate for short news or information items) o Word files with embedded images (in colour or greyscale) o Other formats can be considered; please contact the editorial team with your request. Deadlines: 1 February for the April issue, 1 June for the August issue, and 1 October for the December issue.
The editors will always be pleased to receive the following types of inputs or submissions, among others: o
His scientific interests include data assimilation, theoretical modelling, space weather and space climate, GNSS technique, applications of GNSS radio occultation data in numerical weather prediction, climate, and space weather. 48
