| Aerospace | The region of the ionosphere in which the E-layer tends to form. See atmospheric shell. The E-layer has been observed to be subdivided into two or more layers, and these are then assigned the designation, E1, E2, etc. Patchy and intermittent clouds of fairly high ionization, known as sporadic E-layers, also form in the same general region.
