--Terrestrial Aeronomy--
Sub-auroral Research | Equatorial Aeronomy | Mesospheric Gravity Waves

The Terrestrial Aeronomy component of the Imaging Science research program deals with the following specific projects:  In areas of radio diagnostic research and atmospheric modeling, areas of concentration are: 
  • Use of Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite signals to study ionospheric irregularites from polar to equatorial latitude. 
  • Studies of the sources of ionospheric variability 
  • Studies of ionospheric storms using multi-diagnostic techniques of global models of the thermospher-ionosphere system.
