If our eyes were radio rather than optical wide-band detectors it
is well known that for us the brightest object in the sky would
still be the Sun; that planets, stars and the Milky Way would still
shine feebly (and that we would still occasionally be blinded by
man-made sources). What is less well known is that quite a
different earthbound overcast would hover about us, with its
climatic zones, its seasonal changes, its unpredictable storms and
scintillating transparence. To be sure, we can get a sort of
glimpse of this peculiar type of weather when we tune our receiver
to radio broad casting from some remote spot, or photograph the
Earth from space at certain specific wavelengths. Nevertheless no
one has ever looked at the ionized shroud of the Earth without the
help of sophisticated apparatus, and this is one of the reasons why
in this domain the phenomena are not easily abstracted from the use
of specific techniques. For generations, the study of the
ionosphere has been deeply interwoven with the practice of radio
communication and detection. Today however, ionospheric physics is
best thought of as a branch of space physics; that part of physics
which deals with processes at work in the solar system and methods
developed for its exploration."
