In the last 25 years, there has been an explosive growth in our knowledge of the properties of the upper atmosphere arising from in situ measurements made with rockets and satellites. Radio-wave investigations have continued to make very important contributions, however, owing to the development of a new sounding technique known as incoherent scatter. The paper provides a brief summary of the early reflection experiments, and outlines the principles and practice of the new method. The power of the incoherent scatter technique is illustrated by examples of recent results. In conclusion, current plans to construct large new radars to stdudy the auroral ionosphere are described.
