A scientist specializing in aeronomy; an expert in the study of the upper atmosphere.
From aeronomy + -ist (one who practices or specializes in). This professional designation became common in mid-20th century atmospheric research.
Aeronomists are the specialists who study the 'border zones' of Earth—where our atmosphere fades into space and where the sun's radiation directly shapes our weather and climate.
