Radio Reflection by Free Radicals in Earth's Atmosphere.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reflections of megacycle-per-second radio signals by free radicals in Earth's ionosphere are observed having about the intensity predicted for induced magnetic-dipole transitions. It seems that magnetic atoms, ions, and molecules in planetary atmospheres may be detected by this method. These cbservations were made with the topside ionosonder of the Canadian satellite Alouette II.

Space Weather Support for Communications
Ionospheric variability (space weather) significantly impacts ground and space-based communications. In essence, the electrically charged particles of the ionosphere (i.e., the partially ionized portion of the atmosphere starting at about 40 nautical miles (nm) above the Earth's surface) can attenuate, totally absorb, reflect, change direction of propagation, and change the phase and amplitude ...
متن کاملSHIMMER: a spatial heterodyne spectrometer for remote sensing of earth's middle atmosphere.
It is well known and demonstrated that interference spectroscopy offers capabilities to obtain passive remote optical sensing spectra of high precision and also achieves economies in size, cost, and ease of deployment compared with more conventional systems. We describe the development of a near-ultraviolet spatial heterodyne spectrometer designed for remote sensing of the global distribution o...

Atmosphere Earth is enveloped by a vast amount of air called the atmosphere. It is relative thin compared to the size of the earth and fades away with increasing distance from the earth's surface. The earth's atmosphere is categorized into 4 layers troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere and thermosphere. Troposphere where all the weather takes place and stratosphere, the two closest layers to ea...

Introduction To DETERM INE THE ORBIT OF AN EARTH SATELLITE, or conversely, to use a known satellite orbit to find the location of a point on the earth, it is necessary to use some sort of electromagnetic signal (light or radio signal) passing between the satellite and the earth station. This signal traverses the earth's atmosphere, where its velocity is not the same as in free space (the index ...

In recent years, the importance of the Radio Occultation Method (ROM), an observation procedure of atmospheric quantities such as temperature, density, pressure, and water vapor, increased in value. Based on the global distribution and the high accuracy of the measurements between the Earth's surface up to 35km altitude, ROM offers new perspectives for climate monitoring. In order to compare th...
