NASA is teaming up with a Fredericton researcher to better understand a layer of the planet far above our heads. The unique research could improve the accuracy of global positioning systems and it ...

The ionosphere is of great importance to shortwave radio transmissions, since it allows radio waves to be refracted and ...

Each day, radio signals from key communications and navigation satellites travel freely through a layer of Earth’s atmosphere known as the ionosphere. Floating 50 to 400 miles (80 to 643 kilometers) ...

The ionosphere -- the region of geospace spanning from 60 to 1000 kilometers above the Earth -- impairs the propagation of radio signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) with its ...

An experiment that fires powerful radio waves into the sky has created a patch of 'artificial ionosphere', mimicking the uppermost portion of Earth's atmosphere. The research has not only caused ...

GREENBELT, Md. - Today, at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colo., NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new “4D” live model of Earth’s ionosphere. Without leaving home, ...
