[f. aero-, after astronomy, geonomy s.v. geo-.]
The science of the upper atmosphere.
1946S. Chapman in Nature 30 Mar. 405/2, I propose that the word [sc. meteorology] be abandoned in all its many official and unofficial uses, in favour of ‘aeronomy’ (with the associated words ‘aeronomer’ and ‘aeronomic’). 1953― in Weather VIII. 62/1 Aeronomy..should be adopted with the restricted sense of the science of the upper atmosphere. 1967Technology Week 23 Jan. 96/3 $372,974 GCA Corp...for experimental and theoretical studies in planetary aeronomy. 1971Whitten & Poppoff Fund. Aeronomy i. 5 Aeronomy is the study of chemical and physical processes of the upper atmosphere. 1976Physics Bull. June 261/2 Not only has laser physics grown from this field, but also aeronomy, now the basis of environmental research.
Hence aeˈronomer, a specialist or expert in aeronomy; aeroˈnomic, aeroˈnomical adjs.; aeˈronomist = aeronomer above.
1946Aeronomer, aeronomic [see above]. 1958Meteorol. Mag. LXXXVII. 275 The results of this work will be eagerly awaited by oceanographers, chemists and aeronomers as well as by meteorologists. 1963Jrnl. Geophysical Res. LXVIII. 2360/1 The increased value of aeronomical studies when employing various techniques simultaneously. 1966Britannica Bk. of Year (U.S.) 806/1 Aeronomist. 1971Physics Bull. Dec. 735/2 Its excellence as a sound survey will make it worth consideration by aeronomists, amateur and professional, at all levels. 1975Nature 6 Nov. 64/1 In future studies, simultaneous observations of both dynamical and aeronomical conditions, on a spatial scale adequate to establish transport effects, will be required. 1976Ibid. 24 June 678/2 Interpretation of aeronomic phenomena in SAGA is difficult and often controversial. 1978Ibid. 24 Aug. 731/1 The UK,..reporting through the UK's Science Research Council, included space scientists and aeronomers; other countries may have restricted themselves to the ground-based astronomers. |
