	Aeronomy Laboratory
		Aeronomy Laboratory scientists work to identify and understand the processes that deplete the ozone layer, and they have leading roles in developing "state-of-the-science" assessment reports for use by national and international decisionmakers.
		Data gathered in Antarctica confirmed an Aeronomy Lab researcher's theory that the Antarctic ozone hole is caused by human-made chlorine compounds and that polar stratospheric clouds enhance the ozone destruction chemistry.
		Theoretical, laboratory, and field research at the Aeronomy Laboratory has helped to assess the effects of subsonic and supersonic aircraft on the ozone layer and climate (including the first measurements of the exhaust gases and particles emitted by a supersonic aircraft while in flight in the stratosphere).

	Aëronomie.be - What is aeronomy?
		Aeronomy is a multidisciplinary science, based on observations, which contributes to the knowledge of the atmospherical environment from the Earth to the Sun.
		In general, aeronomy is the science that studies all planetary atmospheres in which physical and chemical processes, resulting from the dissociation and ionization phenomena under the influence of the solar radiation, are important.
		Aeronomy has grown considerably with the launch of artificial satellites during the International Geophysical Year 1957-1958 and the development of new techniques for observations from space.

		Aeronomy focuses on the those parts of the Earth’s atmosphere from roughly 40 to 600 km.
		(Most people are unaware that these missions are still well within Earth’s atmosphere!) Aeronomy requires a knowledge of the chemistry and physics of neutral and ionized gases, how they respond to external influences such as changes in the Sun, and how they interact with each other to redistribute energy.

	NOAA Aeronomy Lab Pacific Sub-Tropical Jet Study
		The study will investigate the transport of ozone in the vicinity of the Pacific jetstream, a compact area of high winds that strongly affects the transport of air between the layers of the atmosphere as well as in the east/west and north/south directions.
		During the mission, Aeronomy Lab scientists will measure ozone from the NOAA GIV-SP research aircraft.
		Measurements have indicated that ozone in the air arriving at the west coast has been increasing in recent years, and the 2004 study should provide insights into the natural and anthropogenic factors that underlie those observations.

	Aeronomy
		The original scientific flights were for aeronomy and were carried out by the Laboratoire d'Aeronomie and later by LPA.
		The CNES list of firings has Veronique flights V32 and V33 listed in June 1961 as well as on the later dates which are confirmed from other sources; I assume the June 1961 entries are in error.
		The Lyman alpha flights are assumed to really be aeronomy flights, since some of them just used solar L alpha as a background source for atmospheric absorption.

	Frontiers in Aeronomy II Posters - SPA-Aeronomy [SA]
		The primary descriptions of the large scale thermosphere and ionosphere system have been based on micro-scale aeronomy processes, i.e., atomic and molecular chemistry and physical interactions, whose outcomes are then redistributed by macro-scale processes to describe regional morphologies as well as vertical stratification of the plasma environment.
		Direct measurements using in situ probes have been at the forefront of aeronomy research since the earliest satellite and rocket-borne measurements of the upper atmosphere.
		The most effective in situ measurement packages are those that gather simultaneous measurements of comprehensive gas properties (density, composition, temperature, and velocity of both the neutral and ionized species), electrodynamic parameters (DC and AC electric fields and magnetic fields), and energetic charged particle populations including both electrons and ions from suprathermal to higher energies.
