The equatorial ionosphere has been under investigation since the earliest days of radio science, seeing the deployment of an ionosonde in the 1930s and an incoherent scatter radar in the 1960s. It has also been the subject of numerous sounding rocket investigations, and, of course, almost every satellite flies over the equator. Nonetheless, thanks to the ongoing renewal of instrumentation deployed near the equator, including radio, optical, and spaceborne instrumentation, it continues to be the source for both fundamental and application-oriented discoveries. Many recent discoveries together with the emergence of new experimental, theoretical, and computational methods for addressing them justify the need for this Research Topic. The goals of this Research Topic are to familiarize the community with recent findings in equatorial ionospheric research, to prompt the application of novel instruments and methods to the expansion of these findings, and to catalyze the research of different groups of investigators toward the end of analyzing, synthesizing, and evaluating the findings in the broader context of global space physics and aeronomy.
