Upper Atmospheric Physics

Upper Atmospheric Physics is a subdiscipline of planetary atmospheric sciences that investigates the physical processes, composition, and dynamics of the ionized and neutral upper layers of planetary atmospheres, specifically distinguishing itself through its focus on altitudes where radiative, particle, and electromagnetic interactions dominate over neutral gas dynamics.
