| Abstract | In an effort to improve global navigation and the availability of radio frequency (RF) communication, the U.S. Department of Defense is deploying a series of experimental and operational ultraviolet remote sensing sensors on satellite platforms. These sensors are used to measure airglow radiances from the upper atmosphere and ionosphere to help specify the global distribution of the densities in the neutral atmosphere and ionosphere. The Earth's ionosphere can affect the propagation of electromagnetic radiation in a number of ways including reflection, refraction, frequency dispersion, time delay and Faraday rotation. These effects are stronger at lower frequencies but variations in ionospheric electron density can be important for RF propagation at frequencies up to about 10 GHz. For quiet ionospheric conditions, refraction, time delay and frequency dispersion provide the dominant source of error for single frequency GPS navigation. Under disturbed conditions, these effects can combine to produce scintillation on GPS and communication signals (HF, UHF) and can cause communication outages, and occasionally, GPS outages. To mitigate these environmental effects and provide advance warning of outages, the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) begins this year to fly a series of ultraviolet limb and nadir imagers and spectrometers for their next Block of polar orbiting satellites. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is sponsoring the development of a geosynchronous ultraviolet imager to provide real-time ionospheric monitoring with high spatial structure. These and other upcoming remote sensing ionospheric instruments provide improved specification of the global ionosphere and feed a new generation of assimilating ionospheric models to help provide a forecast capability for environmental impacts on global navigation and communication. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
