Indication of shrinking atmosphere above Tromsø (69 °N, 19 °E)

Abstract At Tromsø (69 °N; 19 °E), ionospheric data from 1952 onwards indicate that the mean altitude of the F2 layer is dropping by 4 km per decade on average. This effect is thought to be attributable to middle atmosphere cooling due to increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and...

Description
Summary:Abstract At Tromsø (69 °N; 19 °E), ionospheric data from 1952 onwards indicate that the mean altitude of the F2 layer is dropping by 4 km per decade on average. This effect is thought to be attributable to middle atmosphere cooling due to increasing concentrations of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and methane. Copyright © 2003 Royal Meteorological Society.
