Ionosphärenforschung
Ionosphärenforschung is the scientific study of the ionosphere, a region of Earth's upper atmosphere. This region, located approximately 60 to 1,000 kilometers above the surface, is characterized by the presence of ionized gases, meaning atoms and molecules have lost or gained electrons, creating charged particles. The ionization is primarily caused by solar ultraviolet and X-ray radiation.
The primary goals of ionosphärenforschung include understanding the processes that create and maintain the ionosphere, its
Methods employed in ionosphärenforschung are diverse. They include ground-based observations using ionosondes, which measure the height
The knowledge gained from ionosphärenforschung has practical applications. It is essential for improving the accuracy of
