ioniseerimiskõrgust
Ioniseerimiskõrgust, also known as ionization height, refers to the altitude above the Earth's surface where atmospheric ionization reaches a specific level. This phenomenon is crucial in understanding various atmospheric processes, including radio wave propagation, atmospheric electricity, and the interaction of cosmic rays with the atmosphere. The ionosphere, a region of the Earth's upper atmosphere, is characterized by a significant concentration of ions and free electrons, which are generated primarily by solar ultraviolet radiation.
The ionization height is not a fixed value but varies depending on factors such as solar activity,
Studies of ionization height are important for aerospace engineering, particularly in the design of satellite communication
