Space weather has an enormous influence on modern telecommunication
systems even though we may not always appreciate it. We shall
endeavor throughout this monograph to expose the relationships
between space weather factors and the performance (or lack thereof)
of telecommunication, navigation, and surveillance systems. Space
weather is a rather new term, having found an oMicial expression as
the result of several government initiatives that use the term in
the title of programs. But it is the logical consequence of the
realization that space also has weather, just as the lower
atmosphere has weather. While the weather in space will influence
space systems that operate in that special environment, it is also
true that space weather will influence systems that we understand
and use here on terra firma. This brings space weather home as it
were. It is not some abstract topic of interest to scientists
alone; it is a topic of concern to all of us. I hope to make this
clear as the book unfolds. Why have I written this book? First of
all, I love the topic. While at the Naval Research Laboratory
(NRL), I had the opportunity to do research on many topics
including: Thomson scatter radar and satellite beacon studies of
the ionosphere, utilization of the NASA Gemini platform for
ionospheric investigations, microwave radar propagation studies,
I-IF signal intercept and direction-finding experiments, and
multi-disciplinary studies of certain physical phenomena relevant
to weapon systems development.
