Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems

Aims & Scope

Geoscientific Instrumentation, Methods and Data Systems (GI) is an open-access interdisciplinary electronic journal for swift publication of original articles and short communications in the area of geoscientific instruments.

It covers three main areas: (i) atmospheric and geospace sciences, (ii) earth science, and (iii) ocean science.

A unique feature of the journal is the emphasis on synergy between science and technology that facilitates advances in GI.

These advances include but are not limited to the following: - concepts, design, and description of instrumentation and data systems; - retrieval techniques of scientific products from measurements; - calibration and data quality assessment; - uncertainty in measurements; - newly developed and planned research platforms and community instrumentation capabilities; - major national and international field campaigns and observational research programs; - new observational strategies to address societal needs in areas such as monitoring climate change and preventing natural disasters; - networking of instruments for enhancing high temporal and spatial resolution of observations.
