Origin of the Term Ionosphere
Abstract
IN recent years, references1,2 have been made to an unpublished letter (ref. No. 4386, to the secretary of the Radio Research Board, November 8, 1926) by R. A. Watson-Watt, in which he proposed the use of the term ``ionosphere'' in 1926. The text of this has never been quoted, and the relevant passage may be of interest.
