Of electromagnetic waves propagating in the ionosphere , a redirection, i.e., bending--by a complex processing involving reflection and refraction --of the waves back toward the Earth. Note: The amount of bending depends on the extent of penetration (which is a function of frequency ), the angle of incidence , polarization of the wave, and ionospheric conditions, such as the ionization density.
