Working in agriculture means facing a variety of challenges imposed by nature. Unfavorable weather conditions, such as irregular rainfall, strong winds and hail, are common obstacles for producers and ...

Ionospheric irregularities represent spatial and temporal variations in the electron density of the Earth’s ionosphere, which are closely interwoven with broader atmospheric dynamics. These ...

NASA is embarking on the Sporadic-E ElectroDynamics (SEED) mission, launching rockets from Kwajalein Atoll to investigate unpredictable Sporadic-E layers in the ionosphere. These layers disrupt radio ...

The Earth's low- and mid-latitude ionosphere hosts a number of complex phenomena resulting from the coupled dynamics of thermospheric winds, ionospheric plasma, electric fields and ionospheric ...

Scientists studying the ionosphere in Antarctica have discovered day-night variations in ionospheric density, regardless of the 24-hour sunlight in summer and darkness in winter. They observed a ...

NASA has announced that it is going forward with its Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON). Scheduled to launch in 2017, the orbital mission aims to study the effects of the lower atmosphere on the ...

The Earth’s ionosphere is the ionized upper part of the atmosphere, and it’s also the most dynamic as it swells and ebbs depending on whether it’s exposed to the Sun or not. It’s the ionosphere that ...
