  2. Ionosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosphere

    Relationship of the atmosphere and 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. The ionosphere is ionized by solar ...

  3. Ionosonde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosonde

    An ionosonde, or chirpsounder, is a special radar for the examination of the ionosphere. The basic ionosonde technology was invented in 1925 by Gregory Breit and Merle A. Tuve [ 1 ] and further developed in the late 1920s by a number of prominent physicists, including Edward Victor Appleton .

  4. Timeline of music technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_music_technology

    This section shows the Japan-specific timeline of music technology. Note: Some items in the list are not the first even in Japan. 1934 : NEC engineer Akira Nakishima's switching circuit theory lays foundations for digital circuit design [9] 1935 : Yamaha releases Magna Organ, an early electrostatic reed organ [10] [11]

  5. History of sound recording - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_sound_recording

    Ring-and-spring microphones, such as this Western Electric microphone, were common during the electrical age of sound recording c. 1925–45.. The second wave of sound recording history was ushered in by the introduction of Western Electric's integrated system of electrical microphones, electronic signal amplifiers and electromechanical recorders, which was adopted by major US record labels in ...

  6. Space weather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_weather

    The ionosphere bends radio waves in the same manner that water in a pool bends visible light. When the medium through which such waves travel is disturbed, the light image or radio information is distorted and can become unrecognizable. The degree of distortion (scintillation) of a radio wave by the ionosphere depends on the signal frequency.

  7. Ionospheric absorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionospheric_absorption

    ISAB is only a factor in the period of the day where radio signals travel through the portion of the ionosphere facing the Sun. The solar wind and radiation cause the ionosphere to become charged with electrons in the first place. At night, the atmosphere becomes drained of its charge, and radio signals can go much farther with less loss of signal.

  8. Genealogy of musical genres - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genealogy_of_musical_genres

    The genealogy of musical genres is the pattern of musical genres that have contributed to the development of new genres. Evolution in musical instruments [1] in technology and in culture can influence the evolution of musical genres.

  9. Music technology (electronic and digital) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_technology...

    Music is scored with commercially available notation software. [39] In addition to the digital audio workstations and music notation software, which facilitate the creation of fixed media (material that does not change each time it is performed), software facilitating interactive or generative music continues to emerge.
