This book is an introduction to the use of the ultraviolet for remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere. It covers the Earth's UV radiative environment, experimental techniques, and current applications. it is my intention to provide the information needed to "make a first approximation" concerning the use of the ultraviolet and to provide access through the literature for a more thorough study.* Contains recent UV applications not previously available in book form such as ozone, auroral images, and ionospheric sensing* Features broad coverage of fundamentals of atmospheric geophysics with values for fluxes, cross-sections, and radiances* Covers techniques that illustrate principles of measurements with typical values* Contains numerous references to original literature

Communications, Navigation and Surveillance Systems operating in/through the aerospace EM propagation environment are affected by the state/variability of the propagation media. The range of phenomena need for their elucidation, observations and analysis on a global scale since only an understanding of the complex global interaction can improve the means of predictability and assessment of localized phenomena suggesting methods for mitigating adverse propagation conditions. With this goal, ionospheric dynamics, ionosphere/magnetosphere and ionosphere/atmosphere interactions were analysed and discussed at this symposium.
