'4-D' ionosphere map helps flyers, soldiers, ham radio operators
Today, at the Space Weather Workshop in Boulder, Colo., NASA-funded researchers released to the general public a new "4-D" live model of Earth's ionosphere. Without leaving home, anyone can fly through the dynamic layer of ionized gases that encircles Earth at the edge of space itself. All that's required is a connection to the Internet. Airline flight controllers can use this tool to plan long-distance business flights over the poles, saving money and time for flyers.
