... Because of the Sun 's UV radiation, Earth 's upper atmosphere is partly (0.1% or less) ionized plasma at altitudes of 70-1500 km. ... Around the plasma density maximum (F-layer, see below) a so-called ionospheric waveguide is formed for magnetosonic waves . ... It is interesting to note that this works also the other way round and, for example, the auroral kilometric radiation created by the precipitating particles high above the ionosphere does not reach the ground because of the ionospheric E...

Next: Pressure Up: Additional information Previous: Additional information . ... Although the ESO Archive standard is to record temperatures in kelvins, this is often inconvenient. ... Therefore, if the temperatures are not in kelvins, the appropriate units should be provided in the table file (if temperatures are in a column), or as a comment. ... If filter and detector temperatures are otherwise regulated or recorded, it may still be useful to record DOMETEMP in the data file as a Real*4 column. ...
