David Perlman writes in the San Francisco Chronicle: New
satellite to study how Earth storms impact space.
A group of University of California astronomers with the help of
NASA grant are launching a satellite in 2017 to study the
details of how large thunder storms, particularly in the tropics
can drive thermal waves upward and cause major temperature
changes in the ionosphere.
My own take on this story is that this study may provide a new
window on how ionospheric propagation can be changed by
tropospheric storms and affect radio communication. YMMV.
The full article may be available at SFGate.com, but I'm not
online now to chase it down.
