The powerful volcanic eruption in January 2022 created ripple effects throughout the world's atmosphere and oceans. Analysis of the Hunga Tonga eruption shows how signals from the ionosphere could ...

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), in collaboration with numerous universities and government laboratories studying the effects of dusty plasmas Plasmas are charged dust particles that can ...

We have synthesized current understanding, mainly observations, with regard to ion escape mechanisms to space from the ionosphere and exosphere of Titan and Earth-type planets, with the intent to ...

The ionosphere stretches from 50 to 400 miles above the planet and marks the boundary between our planet’s atmosphere and outer space. While it houses most satellites orbiting the Earth, it’s ...

BOULDER, Colo. — The Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder is the only academic institution to send a spacecraft to every planet in the solar system, but this next mission ...

Most operational systems still use a single-layer ionosphere model with a fixed effective height, despite the ionosphere’s strong spatial, temporal, and solar-driven variability. This simplification ...

A new data source to help scientists better understand the ionosphere and its potential impact on communications and positioning, navigation, and timing–an essential utility for many critical ...
