Investigations into the Properties, Conditions, and Effects of the Ionosphere

Abstract

Northwest Research Associates (NWRA), as prime contractor, and its two team subcontractors, Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) and the University of Lowell Center for Atmospheric Research (ULCAR), provide members of their technical staffs to conduct and support scientific and engineering investigations of the ionosphere. The investigations address ionospheric composition, structure, specification, scintillation and chemistry as well as remote sensing of the ionosphere through ultraviolet sensors. Specific work is carried out under individual Task Requirement Notices (TRNs) written for conduct and/or support of investigations in the following six categories: laboratory measurements; field measurements; aircraft measurements; rocket, balloon, shuttle, and satellite measurements; analytical and theoretical investigations; and scientific and engineering analysis. This report provides a summary of the work performed during the period 16 December 1987 through 31 December 1988. (eg)
