ionosphere
With a team of assistants, he constructed a radar used to examine the ionosphere.

His research there was devoted to propagation of radio waves in the ionosphere.

In 1962 the Canadian satellite Alouette 1 was launched to study the ionosphere.

The ionosphere sits at a 300,000-volt higher potential than the lower atmosphere.

But an ionosphere full of charged particles would absorb radio signals instead.

The upper mesosphere is also the region of the ionosphere known as the D layer.

Because the ionosphere is an ohmic conductor of sorts, such flow will heat it up.

Officially, at least, HAARP studies the ionosphere for communication purposes.

There are also mechanisms that disturb the ionosphere and decrease the ionization.

- The outer region of the Earth's atmosphere; contains a high concentration of free electrons
- The ionosphere is the uppermost part of the atmosphere, between the thermosphere and the exosphere, distinguished because it is ionized by solar radiation. It plays an important part in atmospheric electricity and forms the inner edge of the magnetosphere. ...
- The part of the Earth's atmosphere beginning at an altitude of about 50 kilometers (31 miles) and extending outward 500 kilometers (310 miles) or more; The similar region of the atmosphere of another planet
- A region of the earth's atmosphere where ionization caused by incoming solar radiation affects the transmission of GPS radio waves. It extends from a height of 50 kilometers (30 miles) to 400 kilometers (250 miles) above the surface.
- The uppermost atmospheric shell characterized by a high ion density.
- Gas consisting of charged particles (ions and electrons) that mingle with the thermosphere to form the atmosphere of high altitudes.
- An electrified region of the upper atmosphere where fairly large concentrations of ions and free electrons exist.
- A layer of the Earth's atmosphere ranging from about 100 to 700 kilometers above the surface, where oxygen and nitrogen are ionized by sunlight, producing free electrons.
- A region of gases, very high up in the atmosphere, that contains ionized gases.
