Jonathan Makela from the University of Illinois is working to improve the prediction of weather conditions in the ionosphere. They are primarily looking at how solar flares effect the ionosphere. Changes in the ionosphere effect satellite communications and earth based electrical grids. Observations on the ionsphere are being done from Cornell and Virginia Tech Universities by monitoring the airglow of the earth's atmosphere for changes.
