Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003347
The scientific study of the upper atmosphere, including its chemical composition, physical properties, and dynamics. This field investigates phenomena such as aurorae, airglow, and the interactions between solar radiation and atmospheric gases. Aeronomy typically focuses on altitudes above the tropopause, extending into the ionosphere and magnetosphere.
