Introduction -- Optical Quantum Properties of GPS Signal Propagation Medium -D layer -- Pre break down Air Ionization in the Atmosphere -- Current Trends in Development of the Radioactive and Highly Toxic Substances Remote Detection Methods -- Ball Lightning: A New Step in Understanding -- Atmospheric Gelatinous Meteors. This book presents a collection of reviews prepared for the conference "Atmosphere, Ionosphere, Safety," held in Kaliningrad, Russia, in July 2012. It provides the reader insight into the current developments in the following fields: physics of elementary processes; ionosphere dynamics; ball lightning and aerosol structures; as well as remote detection of the radioactive and highly toxic substances. The diversity of scope presented offers readers an up-to-date overview of trends, questions and their solutions. |
