Multiexprimental Studies of the Wind and Wave Patterns in the Upper Ionosphere and Atmosphere

“电离层”是电离层的带电区域。 在85公里高度以上的高层大气， 太阳紫外线和X射线的电离作用 短于约100埃。 电离层很重要 因为它能反射无线电和雷达 波长比几米波长长，散射， 折射较短的波长。 长期和长期的干扰都很大， 短波无线电通信，以及地面对卫星通信 交流，是由波和不规则性产生的， 电离层 该奖项旨在研究电离层， 特别是电离层产生的机制 在赤道地区和高纬度地区都存在不规则现象。

The "ionosphere" is the electrically charged region of the upper atmosphere above about 85 km altitude that is produced by the ionizing action of solar ultraviolet and X rays of wavelength shorter than about 100 angstroms. The ionosphere is important for communications in that it reflects radio and radar wavelengths longer than a few meters wavelength, and scatters and refracts shorter wavelengths. Much interference in both long and short wavelength radio communication, and for ground to satellite communcation, is produced by waves and irregularities in the ionosphere. This award is directed to studies of the ionosphere, and especially of the mechanisms giving rise to ionospheric irregularities, both at equatorial regions and at high latitudes.
