Our research strategy is to take advantage of the tight coupling between neutral and plasma species in the upper atmosphere in assimilation methods ... predictive capability of a coupled thermosphere ...

The ionosphere is an electrified region of ... US Space Force may have accidentally punched a hole in the upper atmosphere "Earlier reports of merging were only during geomagnetically disturbed ...

The ISR has numerous projects to explore the phenomenology of the Earth's ionosphere, the region of the Earth's upper atmosphere that is dominated by ions and free electrons. Investigations include ...

The ionosphere is the upper portion of Earth's atmosphere consisting of free electrons, which are influenced by solar winds and geomagnetic storms. Radio waves from satellites to Earth travel at ...

Suddenly, and rather rudely from the ionosphere's perspective ... proceed diagonally after launch as they ascend into the upper atmosphere, therefore producing smaller shockwaves, but this ...

The primary science objective of the TIMED mission is to understand the energy transfer into and out of the Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere/Ionosphere region of the ...

This project aimes to: Develop a new probabilistic modeling paradigm applicable to the forced dissipative nonlinear dynamics exhibited by the topmost layer of the atmosphere. Incorporate this basic ...

The focus is on developing powerful space-based methods like the radio occultation (RO) technique for exploring Earth’s upper atmosphere and ionosphere. Research is used to perform continuous ...

The ionosphere, a layer of charged particles in the upper atmosphere, is influenced by sunlight ionization, which causes its density to fluctuate throughout the day. Previously, X-shaped patterns ...
