Kunitsyn V., Tereshchenko E. Ionospheric tomography

Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 2003. – 262 p. (Series: Physics of Earth and Space Environments)
The monograph is devoted to a new branch of remote sounding of the ionosphere - ionospheric tomography. Adoption of tomographic methods seems to be an inevitable stage of the evolution of almost all diagnostic systems. Advanced techniques for remote sensing and progressive means for data processing open the possibility of reconstructing the spatial structure of the medium on the base of tomography. In this book, mainly the problems of satellite radio tomography of the ionosphere are discussed, and only one subsection is alloted to optical ionospheric tomography. Modern radio sounding techniques make it possible by means of satellite facilities to probe the ionosphere within a wide range of varying positions of transmitting-receiving systems and to apply tomographic methods. In this connection, in recent years, active tomographic investigations of the ionosphere have been done.Ionosphere: Structure and Basic Methods for Radio Sounding and Monitoring.
