The spaceborne sounder is the
equivalent of the high-frequency ionosonde that has been widely used on
the ground for ionospheric research. The original topside sounders were
highly successful in probing the electron density structure of near space.
Such use of sounders has continued into the 1990s, augmented by other objectives
in space radio science. Papers are solicited on new sounders, either recently
flown or under preparation, and on recent investigations of space plasmas
based on older sounder data.
