Martin Jarvis of the British Antarctic Survey has authored a report
published in the September issue of the Journal of
Geophysics--Atmosphere regarding his team's findings based on tracking
the fluctuations of the ionosphere. They think that the outer boundary
of the thermosphere, which rises and falls daily, has gone into a
long-term retreat of five miles closer to the earth.
I am sure that you can find at least an abstract of the article on the
journal website, but the traffic has been heavy this morning and I
could not get through myself.
