Remote Sensing of the High Latitude Ionosphere.

Abstract

Remote sensing of the earth's ionosphere has many applications to radio wave communications. Techniques to monitor perturbations of the quiescent ionosphere at high latitudes from satellites are described, which include observations in the visible, ultra-violet and X-ray wavelengths. Originator-supplied keywords include: Auroral, and Density perturbations.
