Investigations include studies of ionospheric disturbances around the globe, from Antarctica to the tropics, and complex simulations of these effects of these disturbances on communication, navigation ...

STEVE is a mysterious purple-white arc near the aurora, typically seen after space disturbances called substorms. A new study reveals a rare STEVE event without a substorm, prompting questions about ...

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 ...

For the next solar eclipse in April 2024 another experiment is scheduled, which will give even more ham radio operators the chance to sign up and contribute to ionospheric science. Top image ...

In 1963, the Arecibo Observatory became operational on the island of Puerto Rico. Measuring 305 meters (~1000 ft) in diameter ...

it can be argued that under certain conditions affecting the charge balance in the ionosphere (such as radiation damage due to nuclear explosions 1 and other forms of ionospheric radiation damage ...

For nearly a decade, the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) has been working to bring together resources through ...

Here, the authors show a map of the magnetic fields and ionospheric currents of Mars, revealing two ionospheric currents that are driven by the solar wind and atmospheric neutral winds.

Cole graduated in 2020 from Boston College with a Bachelor of Science in Physics, having done research in the solar input to ionospheric total electron content and the Earth's ionosphere-magnetosphere ...

Scientists tracking a very narrow band of intense electric current in the earth’s ionosphere called Equatorial ElectroJet through ground-based magnetometers in India’s southern tip have developed an e ...

The second asteroid's impact site is called the Nadir crater. Rock was liquified, launching a tsunami into the Atlantic Ocean ...

HAARP also has a secret agenda: pursuing more exotic military goals, such as locating deeply buried weapons factories thousands of miles away and even altering the local weather above an enemy’s ...
