Scientific paper

The ISIS (International Satellites for Ionospheric Studies) program yielded four scientific satellites, Alouette 1 and 2, and ISIS 1 and 2. This review is limited to the scientific contribution of the program to advances in knowledge relating to the portion of the atmosphere and ionosphere that lie within the plasmasphere. Topside ionograms form the principal data base from which global distributions of electron density and other geophysical parameters can be obtained. Ionospheric ducts and bubbles have also been studied with the aid of ionograms. The utilization of other instruments has facilitated investigations of ion composition, electron temperature and airglow variations.
