Effect of the Ionosphere on Radiowave Systems (Based on Ionospheric Effects Symposium)

Abstract : IES '81 is the third Ionospheric Effects Symposium to be sponsored by the Naval Research Laboratory. The purpose of this symposium was to improve the information transfer between system architects, managers, and designers on the one hand, and ionospheric physicists and propagation specialists on the other hand. The conference itself covered various topics of current interest to the ionospheric research community. Session topics included the following: Ionospheric Modification, General Reviews and Total Electron Content, Equatorial Scintillation Studies, HF Propagation/Remote Sensing, High-Latitude Scintillation, Sub-HF Propagation and System Effects, Ionospheric and Propagation Models, and Future Plans and Programs.
