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.
