After eight years of dedicated work on Earth, Planets and Space, Prof. Yasuo Ogawa will hand over editorship of the journal to Prof Takeshi Sagiya. They spoke to us about the challenges in their research fields, the benefits of OA, and the journal's future plans.
Featured Article: New aspects of the upper atmospheric disturbances caused by the explosive eruption of the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai volcano
An explosive eruption of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai (Tonga) volcano occurred on 15 January 2022 generated strong shock and air pressure waves in the troposphere. Their influence globally extended from the atmosphere to ionosphere. Shinbori et al. [2023] comprehensively review the characteristics of ionospheric disturbances obtained from ground-based and satellite observation data analyses and summarizes what we know from the Tonga volcanic eruption. Further, this paper shows new scientific results of the magnetic conjugacy of 4-min ionospheric oscillations and the appearance of hectometric line spectra originating from broadcasting waves associated with the occurrence of equatorial plasma bubble after the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption using SuperDARN HOP radar (https://cicr.isee.nagoya-u.ac.jp/hokkaido/) and Arase satellite (https://www.isas.jaxa.jp/en/missions/spacecraft/current/erg.html) observation data.
Featured Article: Simulation study of atmosphere–ionosphere variations driven by the eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai on 15 January 2022
The volcanic eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai on 15 January 2022 caused severe disturbances in the atmosphere and the ionosphere. In this event, it is expected that atmospheric compressibility played an important role in the atmosphere-ionosphere disturbances. However, phenomena associated with compressibility of the atmosphere have not been fully investigated. We used an axisymmetric three-dimensional nonhydrostatic atmospheric model and the whole atmosphere-ionosphere model GAIA to study the phenomena related to compressibility. We found that our simulation can elucidate various kinds of disturbances caused by atmospheric compressibility, such as shock waves and acoustic resonant oscillations of the atmosphere and the ionosphere.

Aims and scope
Earth, Planets and Space (EPS) is an international, peer-reviewed and open access e-journal publishing high-quality scientific articles in the Earth and Planetary Sciences, particularly geomagnetism, aeronomy, space science, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetary science. EPS also welcomes articles in new and interdisciplinary subjects, including those on new instrumentation.
EPS publishes in a variety of formats: Full Papers, Express Letters, Frontier Letters, Technical Reports and Comments. In all of these categories, only new and original contents will be considered for publication. Express Letters provide authors with a way to rapidly publish brief reports of high-impact results. Frontier Letters cover frontier research in various fields in Earth and Planetary Sciences, and can be contributed only through an invitation by the Editor-in-Chief. Technical Reports present technical aspects of research in related fields. EPS also provides a venue for topical special issues based on conferences, research projects, and other research initiatives.
