Sounding rocket investigations changed the concept of ionospheric layers to ionospheric regions, showing that what had been regarded as separate layers were generally just ledges on an electron-concentration distribution that increases fairly steadily up to the F£ maximum. Almost all our knowledge of ionospheric chemistry, critically important to an understanding of upper atmospheric processes, stems from rocket soundings.
