Description:
The project is entitled 'Small scale plasma irregularities and magnetosphere-ionosphere-thermosphere coupling in the high latitude regions'. The project team will investigate disturbances in the upper atmosphere and how they affect the connections between the upper atmosphere and the space above. These disturbances can disrupt satellite navigation systems. The team will also explore how heated atoms in the upper atmosphere can slow satellites in low-Earth orbits.
