In addition to the technology and engineering, the volume describes ICON’s scientific mission to investigate how lower atmospheric tropospheric dynamics affect the high altitude ionosphere, and why special emphasis was placed on understanding how neutral winds affect the ionospheric dynamics.
This book helps researchers better understand ICON’s workings and why ionospheric behavior is so important to technically advanced societies, as systems based on satellite communications and GPS rely on the propagation of radio waves through the ionosphere.
Previously published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection “The Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission”
Dr. Thomas Immel is the Princial Investigator (PI) on the NASA Ionospheric Connection mission. He earned his docotorate degree at the University of Alaska through the analysis of satellite data regarding the Earth dayglow. He joined the Space Science Laboratory in 2000 and worked on satellite based imaging data from the NASA IMAGE satellite. He has shown that satellite based imaging of oxygen emissions provides a way to monitor the dynamics of the Earth’s ionosphere and showed that the ionosphere is responsive to low altitude tropospheric conditions in addition to the previously known solar influences. As PI, he headed the Berkeley team to propose the ICON mission and oversaw ICON mission development and implementation.
