"The AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) program is an inclusive federation of ground-based remote sensing aerosol networks established by AERONET and PHOTONS and greatly expanded by AEROCAN and other agency, institute, and university partners. The goal is to assess aerosol optical properties and validate satellite retrievals of aerosol optical properties. The network imposes standardization of instruments, calibration, and processing. Data from this collaboration provides globally distributed observations of spectral aerosol optical depths, inversion products, and precipitable water in geographically diverse aerosol regimes. Three levels of data are available from this website: Level 1.0 (unscreened), Level 1.5 (cloud-screened), and Level 2.0 (Cloud-screened and quality-assured). Descriptions may be found of program objectives, affiliations, the instrumentation, operational issues, data products, database browser "demonstrat", research activities, links to similar data sets, NASA EOS links and personnel involved in AERONET."

So are 'artificial ionospheric mirrors' to employ the USAF's terminology. Those would be CHEMTRAILS. Catching you up to my research (in a nutshell) the barium (the light, extremely conductive ambient plasma key ingredient) has something to do with duplicating the auroral effect (sundogs) of the aurora borealis and it seems probable that the experiments with HAARP triggered this line of thinking. Considering that we are dealing with the magnetoshpere, I am guessing that the pole shifts have been affected by the most powerful transmitter ever created (HAARP). The auroral effect itself is the key in that we see that clouds with enough barium compounds ionized in them reflect DIFFERENT parts of the spectrums of light and these different freqencies MUST be indicative of what frequencies we are dealing with explaining why the National Imagery and Mapping Agency's connection to OPTICS. NIMA is now the NGIA - the National Geophysical Intelligence Agency. See Chemtrail Schemes http://www.angelfire.com/mi/smilinks/chemtrails.html ~ "As early as 1939, radio amateurs found auroral ionization useful for communication purposes. Such ionization makes hf and vhf propagation possible over paths as great as several hundred kilometers when other more normal ionospheric propagation modes do not exist. The geometry of reflection is investigated for a variety of transmitter locations based upon the assumption of specular reflection from columnar ionization aligned with the earth's magnetic field lines. The results of the investigations outline the region of useful auroral ionization and the regions on the earth within which the auroral propagation is possible. The probability has been determined of obtaining propagation from a particular transmitter location to any receiver location within the region of propagation. These geometrical studies allow the communicator to predict the most useful transmitter and receiver locations in utilizing auroral ionization for communication purposes. The studies also may suggest methods of minimizing the effects of auroral propagation when it is considered a detrimental propagating mode, for example, when it results in undesirable multipath effects." See: R. L. Leadabrand and I. Yabroff, "The geometry of auroral communications," IRE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol. 6, pp. 80 - 87, January 1958. ~ The Division of Plasma Physics is one of three divisions at the Alfvén Laboratory. The main theme of the Division's activity is research on fundamental properties of matter in the plasma state, especially its electrodynamic properties, such as ability to carry electric current, to support electric fields, and to rapidly release magnetically stored energy. Their web site is here: http://www.plasma.kth.se/ The following is snipped from their annual 1995 report. ~snip~ The main theme of the research is the electrodynamic properties of matter in the plasma state. The research program is characterized by intense international collaboration. ~snip~ The electric fields are particularly interesting because they are intimately associated with acceleration processes that cause auroras, magnetic storms and associated plasma phenomena. Such acceleration processes have a wide relevance to many important problems in space and astrophysical plasmas and also have important technological connections, e. g. to the prevention of harmful electrostatic charging of geostationary satellites. Recently, a discovery was made by members of the space group of low-altitude positive electric potential structures that cause upward acceleration of ionospheric electrons in regions adjacent to auroral field lines which will be further discussed in Section 2.3. ~HAARP taught them that an auroral effect was an optical over-the-horizon, albeit natural, phenomenon. Get it?~ The Auroral Turbulence rocket launched from Poker Flat in Alaska in March 1994 through an auroral arc was aimed at multipoint measurements using three instrumented payloads (mother and two daughters). Excellent data were obtained by the instruments on the mother payload and the analysis of the magnetometer data has during 1995 resulted in a Diploma Thesis by G. Smith. Unfortunately the daughter payloads failed to separate which means that most instruments could not operate. However, magnetometer data from one of the daughters is still useful (although it will be somewhat complicated to analyse) and will allow two- point measurements of the magnetic field. Because of the partial failure (of systems under NASA´s responsibility) and the fact that this is a highly interesting mission a proposal for a second mission, Auroral Turbulence II, was approved by NASA in 1995. After this a collaboration was initiated between Danish Techni cal University, Sodankylä Observatory and Alfvén Laboratory in order to develop a digital fluxgate magnetometer for the Auroral Turbulence II mission to be ready in 1996. ~snip~ The Division's involvement in satellite experiments started gradually with participation in international projects such as GEOS-1, GEOS-2 and ISEE (International Sun Earth Explorer) and came to full fruition with the first Swedish satellite, Viking, launched in 1986 and which carried an electric field experiment entirely built by the Division of Plasma Physics. In 1992 the second Swedish satellite Freja, including an electric field instrument developed at the Alfvén Laboratory, was launched. ~snip~ The Alfvén Laboratory group is responsible for the double-probe electric field instrument on the Swedish Freja satellite. Freja has now been operating for more than three years and the electric field experiment has been fully operational throughout this time. The strongest electric fields ever observed in space plasmas (more than 2 V/m), associated with low- conductivity regions such as east-west-aligned optically black bands or vortex streets of black auroral curls, have been discovered by the Freja double-probe instrument. It has been found that these intense electric fields are often diverging and possibly associated with downward electric fields that give rise to upward acceleration of ionospheric electrons and ion precipitation. The characteristics of the electric field around large scale auroral surges and spirals have been investigated and found to be inconsistent with existing theories of the electrodynamics of auroral surges. In addition the unique capability of the instrument to collect overview data from consecutive full orbits have provided new interesting findings on low-latitude phenomena such as sub-auroral electric fields and equatorial plasma bubbles. ~snip~ Astrid 2 is the second of a series of planned Swedish microsatellites developed by the Swedish Space Corporation. The Astrid 2 payload consists of a relatively comprehensive set of instruments for classical auroral research..... ~snip~ The planned successor to Freja and Viking in the investigation of the ionosphere-magnetosphere interaction is the Ibiza/Impact project..... ~snip~ An important aspect of in situ measurements in the Earth¹s ionosphere and magnetosphere is that they serve to build a safer empirical basis for understanding the physics of our universe which consists almost entirely of plasma. This was the main topic for an IEEE invited plenary talk published in IEEE Trans (www.ieee.org). ~snip~ The optical signatures of these features are likely to be narrow east-west aligned dark filaments (or black auroral bands) adjacent to auroral arcs. In some cases the black auroral bands become unstable and develop into vortex streets of black auroral curls. One such case, where Freja is likely to have passed through two east-west aligned black auroral curl structures, was published previously. ~snip~ During 1995 the analysis has been finished of the combined sub and main payload measurements from the CRIT II ionospheric release experiment. A new data reduction technique made it possible to resolve magnetic perturbations of a few nT, giving unprecedented details concerning the Alfvén waves launched from the release. For example, the magnetic signature could be measured from the plasma displacement in the Alfvén wave front. The measurements also resolved an old competition between two proposed models for the momentum exchange in such releases. Finally, a model of the coupling between the momentum exchange and the energy exchange mechanisms has been constructed based on the measurements.

It may someday be possible to tap some of the immense electric power flowing in ionospheric currents during geomagnetic storms. Ionospheric heating using high power (such as OTH) radar is a convenient way to study the upper atmosphere’s response to known energy input. Researchers have also proposed studying auroral fine structure and the dynamics of artifical barium clouds with the OTH-B radar.
