... Because of the Earth 's gravity, atmosphere is horizontally stratified (see, e.g., Kelley, 1989). Its structure can be organized by using the neutral gas temperature, as shown in the figure from mid-latitudes (note the logarithmic altitude scale). When going upward from the ground within the lowermost atmospheric region, troposphere, the temperature decreases up to about 10 km altitude (tropopause). ... Here the radiation also ionizes the neutral atmosphere, creating the ionosphere . ... 1989. ...

... Kellermann and Pauliny-Toth [5] showed that the maximum brightness temperature that a source can sustain is limited by the cooling due to inverse Compton scattering in the Thomson regime, which rises rapidly when the source exceeds TB > 3 в 1011 K. As pointed out by Crusius-Waetzel [6], brightness temperatures higher than 1012 K can be produced by monoenergetic electron, since the GHz photons can emerge from the source without being absorbed by low energy electrons. ...
