SpuriousLogic writes "The upper reaches of Earth's atmosphere are much lower than expected, a US Air Force satellite has found.
Currently, the ionosphere — a layer of charged particles that envelopes the planet — is at an altitude of about 420km, some 200km lower than expected.
The behaviour of the ionosphere is important because disturbances in its structure can upset satellite communications and radar."
