1931 Fresno (Calif.) Bee 1 Nov. a7/3 The height of the new Appleton Layer was ascertained by sending a signal which lasted less than one-thousandth of a second.

1943 Electronic Engin. 15 342 Presumably the Heaviside, Appleton..etc. layers in the upper atmosphere also give rise to harmonics of radio waves.

1965 Times 18 June 17/6 Whereas the term, Heaviside layer, is still used the term Appleton layer has dropped out.

1994 Jrnl. Atmospheric & Terrestr. Physics 56 697/2 Appleton always deprecated the term ‘Appleton layer’, although it survived as a more appealing name for use in popular explanations of the ionosphere.
