Our Special Issue:

MICROWAVES IN CLIMATE CHANGE

IS NOW AVAILABLE HERE

We have 16 great paper contributions and an Introduction that gives our goals and special reasons for releasing this issue on perhaps the most important topic of our time.  The papers span a very wide swath of topics from ozone monitoring, power beaming, and energy harvesting to bird migration and agricultural emissions monitoring. As planned, these articles come both from traditional EE communities and a range of geoscientists and physicists. It has been challenging to bring these disparate communities and cultures together but this EiC thinks you will agree that this special issue has made a good start. We hope to bring you more special features of this sort as we move into 2025 and beyond!

Background: Based on feedback from our special series article, “Making Waves: Microwaves in Climate Change,” the IEEE Journal of Microwaves is putting together a full special issue on this extremely prescient topic area. Microwave devices, instruments, systems, measurements, applications, and data analysis provide enabling technology and science retrieval in areas related to climate tracking, atmospheric chemistry and evolution, alternative energy development, efficient generation and usage of non-fossil-based fuels, waste conversion, electrification, transportation management, and every sector of the society relying on communications.

We are hoping to distribute – free of charge – a print copy of the entire issue sometime in early 2025. Return to this page in February to sign up for a mailed copy. Meantime, if you have future article contributions on this particular topic be sure to contact Peter Siegel, JMW Editor-in-Chief (phs@caltech.edu) to discuss a contribution.
