NASA is launching rockets from a remote Pacific island to study mysterious, high-altitude cloud-like structures that can disrupt critical communication systems. The mission, called Sporadic-E ...

Altitude sickness’ is a set of symptoms that occur when people are at a high altitude, i.e. elevations of about 1,500 metres. It occurs acutely in persons who climb high altitudes and are not ...

During a solar minimum, EUV (extreme ultraviolet) irradiance is lower than it is during more active times in the solar cycle, producing a cooler, contracted thermosphere and decreased density at a ...

Abstract: For pt.I see ibid.(vol.11 no.3 p.481-90, 2004). In order to validate a nonthermal plasma model using nitrogen in a ferroelectric packed-bed reactor, the number density of the excited ...

THE effect of geographical latitude on the semidiurnal wave of atmospheric pressure is fairly regular and well marked, ibut the variation of the diurnal wave has attracted less attention since ...

For the first time, scientists have caught a key driver of the ongoing erosion of the atmosphere of Mars in action ... They found that, above an altitude of 350 kilometers (217 miles), argon densities ...
