Polarization Measurements Probe the Physics of Lightning

by Minghua Zhang 31 October 20185 January 2022

A new measurement capability can detect the polarization of the radio frequency wave of lightning sources, which reveals different forms of lightning breakdown processes.

Satellites emit signals that can get weakly disrupted in unexpected regions of the ionosphere, research shows.

Equatorial Ionospheric Scintillation During Daytime

by E. Underwood 27 September 2018

Scintillation—flickers and distortions in radio waves passing through the ionosphere—can happen during daytime and at much lower dip latitudes than previously thought.

Earthquakes Could Funnel Radio Waves to Dark Zones in Mountains

Leah Crane by L. Crane 29 September 20167 October 2021

By being coupled with a layer of mobile electrical charges on the Earth's surface, radio waves could travel over the ground to areas that would normally be unreachable, like behind a mountain.

Forecasting Space Weather Like Earth Weather

Leah Crane by L. Crane 19 August 201613 April 2022

Researchers find that as with terrestrial weather, ensemble forecasting—which uses several different models simultaneously—is the best way to produce accurate and precise forecasts of space weather.
