Probing the Sky With Radio Waves - From Wireless Technology to the Development of Atmospheric Science

About the author

Summary

By the late nineteenth century, engineers and experimental scientists generally knew how radio waves behaved, and by 1901 scientists were able to manipulate them to transmit messages across long distances. This title documents this monumental discovery and the advances in radio ionospheric propagation research that occurred in its aftermath.
