  2. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    The ionosphere (/ aɪ ˈ ɒ n ə ˌ s f ɪər /) [1] [2] is the ionized part of the upper atmosphere of Earth, from about 48 km (30 mi) to 965 km (600 mi) above sea level, [3] a region that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere.

  3. International Reference Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Reference...

    International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is a common permanent scientific project of the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) started 1968/69. It is the international standard empirical model for the terrestrial ionosphere since 1999.

  4. Aleksandr Loran - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Loran

    Aleksandr Georgievich Loran, also known as Aleksandr Lovan or Aleksandr Lavrentyev, Alexander Laurant (Russian: Александр Георгиевич Лоран; 1849 – c. 1911) was a teacher and inventor of fire fighting foam and foam extinguishers. He lived in the Russian Empire. A modern foam fire extinguisher.

  5. F region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F_region

    The F region of the ionosphere is home to the F layer of ionization, also called the Appleton–Barnett layer, after the English physicist Edward Appleton and New Zealand physicist and meteorologist Miles Barnett. As with other ionospheric sectors, 'layer' implies a concentration of plasma, while 'region' is the volume that contains the said layer.

  6. Ionospheric pierce point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_pierce_point

    Here R is the mean Earth radius, H is the mean height of the ionosphere shell. The IPP or Ionospheric Pierce Point is the altitude in the ionosphere where electron density is greatest. [1] These points can change based on factors like time of day, solar activity, and geographical location, which all influence ionospheric conditions. [2]

  7. Ionospheric storm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_storm

    The F-region is the highest region of the ionosphere. Consisting of the F1 and F2 layers, its distance above the Earth's surface is approximately 200–500 km. [7] The duration of these storms are around a day and reoccur every approximately 27.3 days. [6] Most ionospheric abnormalities occur in the F2 and E layers of the ionosphere.

  8. List of first response mnemonics - Wikipedia

    PASS (The basic steps for portable fire extinguisher use.) [6] Pull or Pin - Pull the pin at the top of the fire extinguisher (and immediately test the extinguisher). Aim - Aim the nozzle or outlet of the extinguisher at the base of the fire. Squeeze - Squeeze the handles of the extinguisher to begin discharging it.

  9. Hypoxic air technology for fire prevention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoxic_air_technology_for...

    Hypoxic air technology for fire prevention, also known as oxygen reduction system (ORS), is an active fire protection technique based on a permanent reduction of the oxygen concentration in the protected rooms. Unlike traditional fire suppression systems that usually extinguish fire after it is detected, hypoxic air is able to prevent fire.
